Question:
I’m setting up Dreamweaver and am stumped on what to enter for Host Directory. Can you help?
Answer:
The host directory is the directory on your hosting account which contains your websites files (also known as the document root or docroot). By default this is “www”. If you have set up multiple domains, set Host Directory to whatever directory you used when you set the domain up. If you are not sure, check the “Domains” sections of your control panel and it will show you all your configured domain name mappings.
To conclude, use these values to configure Dreamweaver:
Host: your-domain.com (if testing a domain not transferred to us use: your_username.phpwebhosting.com)
Host Directory: www (usually – unless you’ve mapped the domain to someplace else)
Login: your username
password: your password
