Publish
WebMatrix makes it easy to publish your site. If you already have a site, you can upload your files using FTP, FTPs or WebDeploy. WebDeploy makes the task even easier by smartly deploying only the files that have changed, automatically configuring your server, and synching your development machine with your live site. If you dont have a hosting provider, WebMatrix can recommend one with the right technology for your site.
