Guide

Publish your website on Aruba

The simplest all-Italian route, with phone support. Great if you also got the domain here: domain, hosting and site in one place.

Before you start. Unzip the file you downloaded: you get a folder with index.html, _astro, img, fonts and more. When a guide says "upload the site", it means everything inside that folder โ€” the files and subfolders, not the folder that contains them.
  1. Activate a Linux hosting plan on Aruba. Go to hosting.aruba.it, pick a Linux hosting plan (the cheapest is fine) and complete the purchase.
  2. Find the FTP details. In the Aruba panel โ†’ Hosting โ†’ FTP management. Note: FTP server, Username and Password.
  3. Download FileZilla. A free program to upload files: filezilla-project.org โ†’ "FileZilla Client" โ†’ install.
  4. Connect. Open FileZilla, enter Host, Username, Password, Port 21, then Quickconnect.
  5. Open the public folder. On the right (the server) open the www folder (sometimes htdocs).
  6. Upload the site. On the left (your computer) open the unzipped site folder, select everything inside it (Ctrl+A) and drag it into www.
  7. Open your site in the browser: your website is live.
Not comfortable with FTP? Aruba also has a browser File Manager: open www and drag files like on a USB stick.
