This was originally an answer I gave to robertusky in chat but he left and I didn't want him to miss it. If you have used Site.mobi and uploaded and I am missing something, please feel free to jump in and add to it. Sorry for the cut and paste but I really don't want to redo this:
07:29 PM <coast> I believe there is an export option on site.mobi
07:29 PM <coast> make sure you have all the files - all the pages and images
07:29 PM <coast> then if you only have godaddy free hosting, be sure to use the godaddy paid hosting instead or try hostgator, bluehost, jaguarpc, mediatemple.net or something like that
07:30 PM <coast> because godaddy free hosting has mandatory advertising code that is not mobi compliant
07:30 PM <coast> and your site will fail at ready.mobi and not be visible on all phones
07:30 PM <coast> you will ftp the files to whatever the public html file folder is for your host
07:30 PM <coast> if you don't know which one that is, call customer support because they are all different
07:30 PM <coast> also, customer support at your hosting company should be able to walk you through ftp
07:31 PM <coast> you will have an easier time if you use an ftp software program
07:31 PM <coast> free ones include filezilla, and there is a free trial for cuteftp which a lot of people like
07:31 PM <coast> if you have a mac, cyberduck is always free and is good as well
07:31 PM <coast> hope this helps
07:32 PM <coast> if you run into trouble, don't let customer support make you feel dumb
07:32 PM <coast> everyone is new at some point, and soon it will be second nature
07:32 PM <coast> keep them on the phone until you understand it completely
07:32 PM <coast> good luck!
