Open cPanel File Manager<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1grid.co.za\/knowledge\/customer-zone-how-do-i-log-in\/\"><strong>Log in<\/strong><\/a> to your <a href=\"https:\/\/1-grid.com\/client\/index.php?rp=\/login\"><strong>1-grid Customer Zone<\/strong><\/a>, locate your web hosting package row, and select <strong>Login to cPanel<\/strong>.

Open Your Website&#8217;s Root Directory<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the left sidebar directory tree mapping, double-click your primary website root container, which is named <strong>public_html<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Note: <\/strong>If you are altering a secondary addon domain name or an isolated subdomain path, ensure you double-click into its distinct assigned directory folder instead to avoid breaking your core index layout pages.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"htoc-3-locate-the-target-html-file\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Locate the Target HTML File<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scroll through the data grid to find the file row item you need to alter. For primary landing pages, this is commonly labelled <strong>index.html<\/strong> or <strong>index.htm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip: <\/strong>If you can&#8217;t see the file, it may be hidden by default.

Select the Right File Editor Mode<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right-click your highlighted HTML file line item. Depending on your active hosting tier environment setup, cPanel will display up to three built-in manipulation tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li id=\"htoc-edit-launches-a-simple-lightweight-text-editor-interface-window-for-basic-copy-tweaks\"><strong>Edit:<\/strong> Launches a simple, lightweight text editor interface window for basic copy tweaks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li id=\"htoc-html-editor-opens-a-visual-text-platform-design-workspace-layout\"><strong>HTML Editor:<\/strong> Opens a visual text platform design workspace layout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li id=\"htoc-code-editor-recommended-launches-a-development-sandbox-equipped-with-line-numbering-automatic-syntax-formatting-and-error-color-coding\"><strong>Code Editor:<\/strong> <strong>Recommended.<\/strong> Launches a development sandbox equipped with line numbering, automatic syntax formatting, and error colour coding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"htoc-5-create-a-safety-backup-profile\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Create a Safety Backup Profile<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before typing a single newline execution into your code window, right-click the target file, select <strong>Copy<\/strong>, and type a backup duplicate path extension (e.g., <code>index.html.bak<\/code>). This protects your framework files if a typo occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"htoc-6-make-your-code-and-content-adjustments\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
