You should place your web files in
wwwfolder You can access it by runningcd /var/www/from terminal.It depends, if you are using a control panel usually the home directory is the document root for websites. If not, go as the others suggested.
If you only host one site on your server you can put them into the default document root which I believe is
/var/www/html.If you host multiple sites you can create a sub directory in
/var/www/htmlfor every site. Just make sure that the default server block is not serving from that folder and create separate server blocks to every site.It is not necessary to use
/var/www/htmlfor this. You can put them anywhere you want them within reason. Just make sure that the file permissions are safe and the server blocks have the right document roots.
