Create a new web server to host your Craft project. Its document root should point to your public HTML folder. If you’re using Craft’s Composer starter project, then it is the web/ directory by default, but it can be renamed to anything you want as long as your web server is configured to point to it.

If your web host already has a public HTML folder setup to for you that you cannot rename, then you can just copy the contents of Craft’s web folder to it and use your host’s default public HTML folder.
