The public_html directory is your webroot directory. By default your website is loaded from public_html folder. If you create a website under a sub-folder and you want to display it when you type the domain name, add the following lines to your .htaccess file.<\/p>\n

RewriteEngine on\nRewriteCond\u00a0%{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC,OR]\nRewriteCond\u00a0%{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ \nRewriteCond\u00a0%{REQUEST_URI}\u00a0!folder\/\nRewriteRule (.*) \/folder\/$1 [L]\n<\/pre>\n
Replace domain.com with your domain name. Replace folder with the folder having your website.<\/p>\n
Incase there is no .htaccess file you may create a new .htaccess<\/a> file using filemanager in cpanel.<\/p>\n\n\n
