I Have all the hosting details and Domain specifications, I have logged into ftp using ftp details now where to upload the files of my website to make it work?

Generally in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. However, I highly suggest you research a lot more on the topic if you're going to be managing a web server.

You should become familiar with IIS and IIS management. In windows server 2008, You can use Server Manager to add the IIS Web Server role if it doesn't already exist. Then you should expand Roles and Web Server (IIS) to reveal "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager". That is where you set up the web server. Explore the menus there, they provide options you will need. Enjoy!

If you have a domain name and FTP details, sounds like you're using shared hosting. In that case, often the FTP directory will have "httpdocs" in it or "wwwroot", or maybe even "public_html". You place a file there and it should be accessible through the domain. Of course it might also be the case that you will need to change your nameservers on the domain to the nameservers that the hosting company provided.

Whenever I work with a new hosting company, I always do a test with a simple "test.jpg" (no scripting, no PHP, no ASP, etc). Once that works through the URL that I expect, I start more complicated tests.
