Question:

Which folder in my web hosting space should I put or upload my website files?

Answer:

For Linux Hosting (cPanel), put the website files of your primary domain directly inside the public_html folder. If you are uploading website files for a subdomain addon domain, put it in the subdomain or addon domain folder inside the public_html folder.
