To set up Dreamweaver for hosting on Esadax.com, follow these organized steps:
-
Create a New Site in Dreamweaver:
- Open Dreamweaver and navigate to the main menu.
- Click on "Site" and select "New Site."
- Provide a name for your site (e.g., "My Website") and click "Create."
-
Configure Server Settings:
- In the "Servers" tab, click "New Server."
- Set the server type to SFTP.
- For the server name, you can name it something like "Esadax Server."
- In the Connect Using field, select SFTP.
- Enter the Esadax-provided cPanel IP address and port number (usually 21098 for SFTP).
- Use your cPanel credentials for Username and Password.
- Set the Root Directory to "/public_html" or a subdirectory if applicable.
- Provide the Web URL as your domain name.
-
Test Connection:
- After configuring, click "Test Server."
- Dreamweaver will verify the connection; ensure it's successful before proceeding.
-
Upload and Manage Files:
- Use the Files panel in Dreamweaver to upload your website files.
- Organize files into folders as needed, especially if using a subdirectory.
-
Publishing the Website:
- Once all content is ready, click "Manage Sites," select your site, and click "Put" or "Upload."
- Dreamweaver will transfer files to your Esadax server.
-
DNS Considerations:
- Ensure your domain's nameservers are updated with Esadax's provided values.
- Allow time for DNS propagation for changes to take effect.
-
Additional Settings:
- Check cPanel for any specific settings, such as enabling SFTP in the file manager.
- Verify that all permissions and configurations align with your hosting plan.
