Ok, in class we used the student server and we were each given a named folder(after our names) to create a web page.
Very straight forward. We created everything ourselves.

Now my problem .........There are so---o many folders and I dont know what to do with them all
That said, I just got a Web Host and when I go into the Control Panel I am confused as hell.
There are like 10 folders of all sorts, although it looks straight forward, I have never seen some before. Can I delete these folders and replace them with my own?!
Do I need to keep them? I am certainly confused to say the least.
This is the stuff I wish we would learn in school!!

Anyhow, I will post some screenshots for examples.
My host site uses 'cPanel 5' for anyone familar with it.

Thanks ahead of time.

second shot.

I have No idea about neomail, www, public ftp, etc.

We just had all the files mixed, except for private, images, and dbases, which we created folders for.

I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but your primary folder is going to be the /public_html folder anything in that folder is public viewable unless chmoded otherwise or password protected (i.e. through ftp /public_html/jaysfolder/ would be accessed by url by http://jaysite.com/jaysfolder/).

The other folders (neomail, mail) are folders the server uses, I don't think the files in there are viewable by you.

I ended up figuring it all out.
Hardest part was seperating what goes with what.
No I have some clue.
