In order for all your web pages to be visible via a web browser you must upload all files that you wish to be viewable via the world wide web to: public_html/
If you publish your website to any other folder than the public_html/ folder then it will not be viewable at all and may overwrite other important directories within your web hosting account.
DO NOT change, add to, modify or create folders outside of this directory. If you need proper guidance or want to make sure then give us a call.
