Why do I get an empty directory listing or a goofy welcome page where my website should be?

When you first get set up and your domain becomes active, your URL will most likely bring you to an empty directory listing page or our default welcome homepage. This is because you haven't uploaded your site yet.

If you have uploaded your site, you need to create an index page. An index page can have whatever you want on it, but it must be called "index.html" or "index.cgi" if it's a CGI program or index.php if it's a PHP script. Calling the file "index.html" tells your visitors' browsers to open that page; otherwise, the browser will just show your file list.

You need to upload your web files in public_html folder.

NOTE: Make sure you have removed the the index.html or index.php file in public_html folder before uploading your files.
