FTP Publishing

Publishing Method: FTP

Server: ftp.yourwebsite.url

Connections: 6 (Lightning Fast!)

Username: your cpanel username (provided in your New Account email from Chillidog)

Your cpanel username will never be an email address.

SFTP Publishing

If you wish, you can also Publish to your Chillidog server via SFTP. Here are the settings:

Publishing Method: SFTP

Server: ftp.yourwebsite.url:23261

Connections: 6 (Lightning Fast!)

Username: your cpanel username (provided in your New Account email from Chillidog)

Your cpanel username will never be an email address.

Password: your cpanel password (provided in your New Account email from Chillidog)

Path: public_html/ if you only have one site on the server. If you have created Addon Domains via your cpanel at Chillidog, then you can use the Browse button and look for the appropriate folder.

Custom 404 Page

To have a custom 404 page, you'll need to create a page at the root of your project and name it "404.shtml" - notice the "s" in ".shtml".

This is very important as if you name the page "404.html" the page will be ignored by the server.
