Setting Up Home Page on WebHostingHub

Question:  So, usually I use webs.com to host sites and I can use it rather well. It’s easy and straight forward. I have a site that runs perfectly on there.

However, my friends and I are attempting to do a big project together. So we decided we should purchase our domain, and we looked into hosting services that had more to offer than webs.com. We paid for one, but have no idea how to set it up.

It uses the ‘cpanel’ (control panel), and has the roots folder and public_html. I’ve tried making index.html in there, and added the coding to it. All the necessary css and images are uploaded as well, but it doesnt seem to be working at all. When I go to our main domain (Im not revealing this), it just says
“Hello There!
This website is currently under construction.

If you are the web hosting account owner, please be sure to delete this page after you have uploaded your website. If you’re visiting this site please check back soon!”

Answer:  See that part were it says to “delete this page”?  You have to delete that page.  Either FTP to your site or go into the File Manager from cPanel and navigate to the public_html folder.  Look for a file called default.html.  That’s the one you want to delete.  Then your index file will work.

You made a great choice with WebHostingHub.  I have an account with them and I LOVE how fast WordPress runs.
