this is the first time in my life , that i want to install a web application !

a glimpse into my request :
this is my home page : host (http://chessset.sourceforge.net/)
and i am going to host mybb on it !
at this guide , mentioned how can upload files by the following example code : getting start (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Project%20web)
example code :
[jsmith@linux ~]$ sftp jsmith,fooproject@web.sourceforge.net
Connecting to web.sourceforge.net...
The authenticity of host 'web.sourceforge.net (216.34.181.57)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 68:b3:26:02:a0:07:e4:78:d4:ec:7f:2f:6a:4d:32:c5.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

You should probably get a cPanel Hosting Account instead at host gator to make your life easier but you could unzip your files and upload it via sftp. Your host is the sourceforge IP. Your username and password of course is your username and password.

As rlshosting told, since you are a rookie, you really should get a cpanel hosting account. Else it will be really difficult for you to manage your domains.

You can use remote mysql in cPanel for Source Forge or a free mysql host to host your database.
