Installation on shared hosting server

If you want to deploy Kentico CMS to the live server, you need to follow these steps:

 

Install Kentico CMS on your local machine if you haven't done so yet.
Run Kentico CMS Web Installer (you can find it in Start -> All Programs -> Kentico CMS).
Choose to create a new web site for Visual Studio 2005 built-in server and enter the path C:\tempsite. Finish the wizard - it only copies the files to the given folder. You do not need to have Visual Studio 2005 installed.
Copy the files from your local folder C:\tempfiles to the root of the web site using FTP.
Open web browser and navigate to your web site. You will be displayed with Database Setup Wizard.
Go through the wizard and create a new Kentico CMS database on your live server.
At the end of the Database Setup Wizard, choose either to create a new web site or import your existing Kentico CMS web site.
