I uploaded my website, but I still see the holding page. What is wrong?

There are a number of possible reasons for this.

Check that you have either overwritten or deleted the original index.html

Ensure that you upload all contents that you want visible on the Internet into the correct folder (see below).

A possible reason is that your homepage is labelled incorrectly.
Your site's homepage needs to be called one of the following file names:
1. index.htm
2. default.htm
3. index.html
4. index.php
5. index.jsp (java)
6. default.asp (windows)
7. index.asp (windows)
8. index.cfm (only on Helm hosting)

On linux filenames are CAsEseNsitive, so myfile is not the same as MYFile

If your homepage is not labelled one of the names listed above, you will not be able to see your site.

Direct Admin:
If your domain is hosted in the Direct Admin control panel your website files need to go into the following folder: /domains/domain.tld/public_html

Helm:
If your domain is hosted in the Helm control panel then your website files need to go into the following folder: wwwroot

cp.blacknight.com:
If you are a customer of the new hosting control panel system then your files will need to go into the folder listed under the domain location in the "All domains" list.
- For example on a Linux shared hosting package the website files need to go into the following folder: webspace/httpdocs/$location (where $location is the location you   specified in the location field in "All Domains >> Your domain name")
- For a Windows plan these website files will need to go into the: /wwwroot/$location folder (with the location field being found in "All Domains >> Your domain name")
