Hello HaresLtd,


You may upload your site and its existing structure by using FTP. This allows you to upload many files and folders at once preserving their current structure and layout.


If this is your main domain, you will want to upload the files into the root folder of your account, which is the public_html folder.


If it is an addon domain, upload it into the root folder for that domain. This is typically a folder under the public_html with the same name as the addon domain. (ex: public_html/addon.com)


We have an article to assist you with getting started with FTP.


I hope this answers your question. If you have any more questions or information specific to the issue please leave a comment below so we can further assist you.
