Why do I get an empty directory listing or an odd 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 website yet.

If you have uploaded your site, you need to create a homepage. A homepage can have whatever you want on it, but it must be called "index.html" (or index.htm). Calling the file "index.html" tells your visitors' browsers to open that page; otherwise, the browser will just show your file list.

You then need to upload your web files to the public_html folder(details can be found in your welcome email).
