How can I publish my site made in the Mobirise easiest website maker? Please, write me a "step by step" tutorial.
1. You've probably already published your website project to a local hard drive, didn't you? Now in order to make it visible to the world you need two things prior the actual upload process to take place. These are called domain and a hosting server:

- the hosting server is the actual physical place where your website's file will "live" in order to get accessed and read from the users around the world. This is basically a computer working 24/7 with some specialized programs installed in it and somebody taking care all the time everything's working fine. Think of it as the house your files.
- the domain address is the words typed in users browser address bar causing the browser to display your mobile friendly website - or the internet address of your site. If the hosting is a house, the domain is the street address of this house - this way the visitors will know where to come visiting.
These two get purchased for a period in order to be used together for displaying your or anybody's website. Google something like "best hosting solutions" and pick one best fitting your needs - they basically sell them in a pack hosting+domain with some bonuses for the first year. A good idea would be looking for something locally.
2. Once purchased a web hosting solution head to your admin panel and look for few particular lines of information about your services like FTP host, FTP Username, and FTP password.
3. OK, you have a locally published website, you have a hosting, let's get you the software making the connection. Most of us here use something called Filezilla - it's free, easy, convenient and works.
In the Filezilla, in order to connect to your server, you'll need filling out the data from your server's admin panel. Don't worry if you don't see a port explicitly provided - basically, Filezilla will figure it out itself. Once you've filled the correct details hit Quick connect. If it does not connect from the first time - make sure you placed the correct details at their places - make sure no extra spaces are being copied and pasted - this matters.
4. Once connected you'll see something like this - on the left are your local files, and to the right is your server's root folder. Inside of it, you need to find the root folder for the site - something like "www" or "public_html" this is the location you should place the files from your local publish directory - just browse towards it in the left side panel, select all the files inside and drag them in your "www", "public_html" or whatever the main dir is called (if you can't figure it out yourself asking the hosting team or reading the FAQ section of the hosting provider's site.
Let's say you've purchased mydomain.com found the main directory at your server and uploaded your files there - typing mydomain.com in your browser's window will display the contents of the file index.html located in your site's main dir - this is your front page. If you designed it later on - just rename the pages in your bootstrap builder Project, publish locally and repeat the drill.
If you need something like info.mydomain.com you need to create a folder called info at the same level with the main folder.
If you create a subfolder inside your main site's dir (like "www" in the example) it will display something like this www.mydomain.com/mydir same thing counts for the subdomains.
