Posted on May 12, 2016

So I have my own domain (from NameCheap) and I’ve made a droplet. Now how do I add content to my website (using my own HTML codes)? Thanks!

Hello, @angelas

If you are looking for graphical interface to upload files to your server, I’d suggest you take a look at Filezilla:

If you also need help to configure your server have a look here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
