So I have all my HTML, CSS, and JS files ready to be uploaded to a server (Using cPanel as I have experience with them). But i was wondering how to assign a HTML file to a certain link like “devwebdevelopment.com/about” or something like that

What I want is to have a link with a “/”. For ex. “google.com/developers”

  1. Webservers are very similar to windows folders in a windows PC.

    For example, think of http://www.google.com as a folder called “home”. In this “home” folder, this is your root directory, where you serve the index.html for the home page.

    Now in your case, the “www.google.com/developer” is created doing… you guessed it, creating another folder in your “home” directory.

    Example: in your root directory of “home” (in web servers this is called the public I believe), just create another folder called “developer”. Now your website is structured as:

    http://www.mywebsite.com and http://www.mywebsite.com/developer

    In your developer, create an “index.html” file, which will be the first file served to the client upon initial http request.

  2. You need to create a directory with the desired name.

    Let’s say you want to add a / contact

    For this, just follow this directory structure

    index.html
    contact (this is a folder)
    gallery (this is another folder)

    And play the files for each folder. If my answer does not help you, comment here so I can help you.
