The work you've done so far has been restricted to your own computer or laptop. Without sending your files through email—or transferring them onto a thumb drive and passing it around—not many people can see what you've made.

The key to sharing your website with the masses is getting your files online. But how do you do that? And how do people find it?

Have you ever uploaded photos to a social media page? What about putting videos on YouTube? If you've done anything like this, you're already familiar with placing files on the web. When getting a website online, you need a domain (the location) and the means of moving the files, which is known as FTP.

In this lesson, we'll explore different methods of uploading your work to the web and set up an account with GitHub to let you share your work.
