Getting Started

Create your web hosting server

In order to get a website running using FPS.ms you first need to create a web hosting server on our platform

1. Head over to panel.fps.ms/deploy
2. Select "Webhosting BETA" as the category
3. Select the package you want to use & scroll down to the "Continue to configuration" button
4. Enter your server name and select the location, then press the "Deploy" button
5. You will be redirected to the servers control interface

Visit your website for the first time

Now that you have your own web hosting server its time to checkout how to open it in your web browser

1. Make sure the server is running, this is the case when your "Start" button is grayed out and the "Uptime" time goes up
2. On the bottom of the "Console" tab you see your server address

1. Copy the server address and put it into the address field of your browser and press Enter
2. You should see the following default content being shown on your website

Creating your own hostedbyfps.com domain

FPS.ms offers a free subdomain for your web hosting server. This makes it easier to remember the address of your server and it looks way fancier than for example peach.fps.ms:11521

1. Go to the "Domains" section of your web hosting server
2. Press on "Create Proxy"
3. Fill your desired name in the "Subdomain" field. This value will be put in front of hostedbyfps.com. So if you put, fancy in the field the resulting domain will be fancy.hostedbyfps.com
4. Select whether you want to have a SSL Certificate on your domain. This is generally recommended so your browser marks the site as "safe"

1. Press "Create". This will create your domain and link it to your web hosting server. The SSL state is also displayed in the overview. The certificate creating may take a few minutes. Please be patient :>
2. When everything went well, you should now be able access your web hosting server using the created domain

Uploading your own website to your web hosting server

Now that you got your web hosting server setup done, you can start uploading your own content to it.\n

1. Go to the "Files" section of your web hosting server
2. Click on the "www" directory
3. Delete the default index.php file and upload your website content. For this guide we put together a small and simple "About me" page which looks like this:

Or open it right now by clicking here

1. Download the example file from here by clicking on "Raw" and then right click and then "Save as"
2. Upload the file to the www directory you are currently inside of
3. Check if the file is called index.html. If not, rename it
4. Then click on the uploaded file to open it in the editor. It contains a lot of example values and links like YourNameHere. Adjust that to your specific details and then save the file.
5. Open up your website, press CTRL and F5 and you should see your new, fancy and fps.ms hosted "About Me" website :>
