FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for uploading and downloading website files between a home PC and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you will need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can fulfill their job without being able to view any other directory in your website hosting account. In addition, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build multiple Internet sites using web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Any of the web hosting plans offered by our company will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your Internet sites independently or to provide other persons with access to any website in your hosting account. In case you have a web design program installed on your home computer, you will be able to manage multiple websites simultaneously and to update them without a hitch. In case you give the login credentials to another person for a specific task, you will be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to delete it altogether with only a few mouse clicks and prevent any risk of unsolicited access to your web content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve chosen on the order page, as the FTP access is one of the standard features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you like via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not need a specific account any longer, you can just delete it and stop persons who have used it previously from connecting to it again. The latter option is particularly handy if you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT individual leaves the firm and you do not want them to connect to the web files any longer. An exhaustive Help section that comprises how-to video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t have any past experience.

If you wish, you can even create separate FTP accounts for the very same domain name and give several people their very own set of sign-in details to access the website content. Each of the three hosting Control Panels will provide you with the ability to set up, to edit or to remove an FTP account in several simple steps and with less than a few mouse clicks, so even in case you don’t have prior experience, you’ll be able to administer an account in a seamless manner.
