| How do I Remove the "Placeholder" Page? |

|
Your site comes with a default "Placeholder" page. This page is called index.html and is in your web (httpdocs) directory. Before you upload your site you should delete this page from the httpdocs directory using your FTP program. This is because, if you call your home page, say, index.htm, then the under construction page will still appear when people point their browsers to your domain.com because the first page the server looks for is index.html. The server will only look for index.htm if index.html is not there, and will only look for index.shtml if neither index.html nor index.htm are in your httpdocs directory. If you delete the index.html file and upload your home page, but still see the Placeholder page when you point your browser to your site, then please try pressing the Refresh/Reload button on your browser. This will usually result in your new home page appearing. If you receive a “Forbidden” error on any directory usually means that an index page is missing.
