First, you need to download the plugin to your computer. Unzip it if necessary and find the plugin folder.

Then, you will have to access your web directory using an FTP client. If you don't already have one, you can download Filezilla for free. You will need to log in to the FTP client using the information on your "Website Settings" page of WPD.

Once logged in, you will need to upload the plugin folder from your computer to the plugin directory on your FTP. Here is the default directory:
public_html/wp-content/plugins

After you've uploaded the plugin, you can activate it by visiting the Plugins panel of wp-admin.
