The first thing that you need to do right after you sign up to the Lazy Site Builder is to create a site within the LSB control panel. To do this, all you need to do is click on the “Create Site” button.

You will then be taken to a form where you need to fill in the FTP details for your site.

You will need to fill in:

• Full Web Site URL
  The most common value for this field is a simple URL, for example,
  —>  http://www.yourdomain.com
  Normally, this would be correct.

  The only other option for this field is when you want to use sub domains. In this case, you will want to type in your sub domain, for example,
  —>  http://subdomain.yourdomain.com
  Note that if you would like to use a sub domain, you need to set this up first from within your web host control panel.

• FTP Server
  This is usually in the following form,
  —>  ftp.yourdomain.com
  If that doesn’t work, try this
  —>  ftp://www.yourdomain.com

• FTP Username & FTP Password
  This is not your LSB username and password. You will need to check with your web host. Normally, you will receive these information in a welcome email, right after you sign up for a web hosting account.
• Web Site Directory
  This is the directory that you need to publish your site into, in order for it to appear online. You will need to check with your webhost what this is. If you signed up with a Cpanel based web host, type in
  —>  /public_html
  If you are working with a sub domain, this value will be
  —>  /public_html/subdomain

• Starting Directory
  If you want to publish to your root folder, type in
  —>  /
  If you want to publish your site to a subfolder, type in
  —> /subfolder

When you’re done, just click on “Save” and you will see your new site listed in the control panel. To start building your site, just click on the “Login” link next to the site you’d like to work with.
