I have uploaded my files, but my website is not showing up when I try to view it in a browser. Why?

Home » Knowledge Base » Control Panel » Domain Manager » I have uploaded my files, but my website is not showing up when I try to view it in a browser. Why?

At first, it is important to understand if the browser response is “Server not found” or if it forwards to the browser’s embedded search engine and the response is “No results found for…”. If you get these types of messages and you use a domain make sure it uses the correct NS settings. The one you should point your domain to. Your NS settings will be listed in your Domain Manager section under the NS column, once you add your domain.
Next, please check and make sure you have uploaded your website files to the exact folder location associated with the respective domain/sub-domain. Visit your File Manager and browse in the respective folder that corresponds to the domain/sub-domain.

Important: If the domain/sub-domain is loaded in the browser but then gets redirected to a 404 error or to our utility domain/sub-domain – the page you are trying to view most probably contains an abusive word, which our filtering system prevents to be displayed as part of our security measures on the free type accounts.
