1. Click ‘Start’ –> ‘Run’

2. Type ‘ftp.anydomain.com’ (substitute with your domain)

3. Click ‘File’ (top left), then ‘Login As’

4. Enter Login Information

Once you are successfully logged in, you now have an FTP connection to the server. To upload and download files, simply drag and drop files (and folders) in and out of this window.

Applications such as Filezilla or SmartFTP have more features, but the Windows FTP will work fine for basic upload and download.

Domain Name Registration – Beware

Beware – companies use Domain Name Registration as bait for add-on services like web hosting, enhanced email and private registration. Don’t take the bait unless you really need these add-ons, as it will raise your registration costs significantly. Typically, the $10/yr plan is all you need. We have been using GoDaddy for a few years, and they have provided consistently good service. They also have an easy-to-use backend administration section.

If you order a domain from GoDaddy, make sure to skip to checkout as soon as possible during the purchasing process. Because, just like all other registrars – they will try to sell you everything under the sun related to your new domain.
