Technical Questions Stackcp hosting

So recently I remade a website for a small company I work for. My new website is completley static and I wrote all the html, css and js files myself on my pc. The old website was made through wordpress. Is it as simple as deleting the wordpress files from the file manager and adding my own (whilst making a backup of course) or is there more I need to do? The domain name and therefor certificates should all stay the same right? Im sorry if this is a basic question but all the help out there is trying to get me to use wordpress or another site builder.

Without knowing exactly what you're playing with, it's hard to say. But for the love of God don't do it on your company site's live environment.

Isn't stackcp 20i.com? If so, their support is decent. You could ask them.

There are other companies that uses stackcp but the infrastructure is 20i's.

Have you tested the site?

Why don't you do these:

Create a folder in the server. E.g newsite

Inside that folder put all the new static site.

Then access the site yourdomain.com/newsite

If all is okay then you can do a) delete all the files after backing it up in public_html and then move the files from newsite folder there

b) If you are hesitant then without deleting the wordpress files in public_html, just move the files from newsite there. As the index file will have a html extension index.html so that will take priority over the index.php wordpress file.

Then you can delete the wordpress files later.

But I would choose option a) after it has been signed off by the manager.
