Dear friends,

I have been working with a MVC Web application (Internet application) which I now want to put up in the real environment, question is that the application is part html, so do I need some specific methods to upload it to a server.

I remember the good old HTML sites use you work like this way, that once you done with a site you just upload it through ftp on the domain to a specific folder and the index.html was the main page to be called and Bob’s your uncle.

In Visual Studio there is a menu item under BUILD -> Publish "the project / or app. Do I have to just follow that ? and the program takes cares of the rest ? In my app there is a database, how does the file structure works, is it auto built, do I need to take some steps while uploading make folders or write some code or whatever??

PS. I previously asked a question and someone told to Google it ! well it’s true that one can find relevant info but its not that easy, like we are all not very quick and nerdy like some who have answer to everything, it might take a week, days to fine the relevant info, that's why I am writing here, so I might get guided in the right direction.
