You can upload files via FTP using a client application like Filezilla or via cPanel -> File Manager -> Upload file(s).

If you want your Joomla! to be the main installation on your account and to be accessed through your main domain (i.e. www.yourdomain.com), you need to upload the extracted files to your public_html folder. (Though some host severs have a different structure, in most cases, the root folder is "public_html.").
