Craft 3 Upload To Bluehost - Index.php outside root issue

Question

I'm having issues uploading my craft3 site to Bluehost.

I've uploaded all the files, ran composer install and it does actually work. However when I go to my domain it shows the raw files/folders and I have to go in to my 'public_html' folder to access the site.

I must note I changed the 'web' folder to 'public_html'.

Because the index.php file is inside the public_html folder my server can't find an index file and therefore shows the raw files.

That's my understanding.

What's the best approach for this?

Thanks

Without getting too much into it, i feel you need to look at a symbolic link for public_html to the web folder (if you have linux server):

Or change .htaccess file:
