Hi there,

I'm a bit confused regarding the public directory of a user website. Which one is used by default? public_html or public_shtml? Is there a way to default to public_shtml? I'm asking because if I create a website and add SSL certificate later, do I have to change something?

Thanks.

I have always used the regular public_html for both SSL sites and non. You can add SSL later without changing the folder. Other server systems also use just the one. I think the empty public_shtml is just for people who want a separate folder for it. I don't think it's normally used.
