Hello,
Ok so I've got my webpage designed by someone and now I need to get it into bluehost. where do I put it in blue host and what's the best way to get it there? Is it a copy and paste kind of operation?

You need to take all of the files that make up your website (which will include a main page, usually called index.html, any additional pages, and all the image files, etc., often contained in subdirectories), and move them all to your Bluehost server.

The best way to move files is with an FTP client program, like Filezilla, or CuteFTP, or WS_FTP. You point the FTP client to your domain (www.yourdomain.com), and then copy all those files into the public_html directory on the server.

If you don't have an FTP program (you should - there are plenty of decent free ones out there), you can just use Internet Explorer. Let's say that your domain is www.heresmystuff.com. Launch Internet Explorer, and, in the address bar, enter ftp://heresmys@heresmystuff.com/public_html (the "heremys" part is just the first 8 letters of your domain name). It will prompt you for your password, and after a brief delay, you should see a few default files and folders (leave those alone). If you don't see them, choose Tools, Internet Options, the Advanced tab, and check "Enable folder view for FTP sites."

Now, click on the Folders icon at the top. At this point, you should be able to drag and drop files and folders from your C: drive to the public_html directory on the server. Just copy all of the files that make up your website from your C: drive to the server.
