The document root is the directory on the server where the web server looks for the files that are to be served to clients when they request a particular website. This can be edited within the control panel, allowing the easy changing of a website without adding and removing the domain.
- Login to your cp.purely.website account.
- Using the left menu, click Websites, then click on the website you wish to edit the document root for.
- Using either the file manager or FTP, create the new document root folder and upload you website files if required.
- Using the top menu, click Domains, then click the 3 vertical dots and click Manage.
- Under the Document root header, click the pencil icon to edit the location.
- Enter your newly created document root directory and click Save.
That’s it, your websites files will now be served from the new directory you’ve specified.
