FTP Accounts
What's FTP? What?s an FTP account? When do you need to have one?
FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular means of transferring web content to a hosting account. Using an FTP software application that’s installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can make a connection to your hosting server and copy all the website files that you need with several clicks of the mouse. You can do this via an easy-to-navigate GUI and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to create several FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you need to give someone access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to access only one particular folder and won’t be able to access the rest of your content or any other info, including personal details. Three prerequisites are compulsory in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain name, a username and a password.

All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can create as many FTP accounts as you like via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content too.
