FTP Username and Password

If you want to update your website with an FTP program (most other website editors use this method) you'll need the following information:

  • FTP Host: yourdomain.com
  • User Name: w12345678
  • Password: your ftp password

Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.
