I have uploaded my site but I still see the "Welcome to the future Home of..."
|
There are a few possibilities:
- You have uploaded your files to the wrong folder. Make sure that you have uploaded all of your files to "yourdomain.com" folder.
- The file that you want to be your default home page needs to be named either "index.html" or "index.htm". The server will not recognize any other file name as your homepage.
- Your domain name has not transferred over to our servers yet. Try viewing the site using your IP Address.
- You need to delete the old "index.html" file that is automatically set up when you sign up for an account.
