What visitors see before you upload anything ("This website is not published yet")

The automatic page

Until your site has a home page of its own, our servers show visitors an automatic page: "This website is not published yet" and "The owner of this address has not published their site here yet. Please check back soon."

• You do not upload or switch on anything. It works on every hosting plan.
• It tells search engines not to index it, so it never becomes your site's content.
• It disappears by itself as soon as you upload an index.html, index.htm or index.php to

your site's main folder, or install an application such as WordPress.

Does it show your host's name?

• On most plans the page ends with a short "Hosted by …" line.
• On Footprint-Free (PBN) Hosting the page carries no host name at all.
• If your hosting comes from a reseller, the line names the reseller, not us.

Can I choose a different automatic page?

No. Every plan uses this one page, and there is no setting, plan, server location or add-on that changes its wording or design. If you want your own wording, upload your own index.html with the text you want: open your site, go to File manager, create index.html in the main folder and save it.

My site shows a blank white page

Your site's main folder has an empty index file (for example an index.html of 0 bytes). Any index file, even an empty one, replaces the automatic page. Open File manager, delete the empty file (or put your page into it), and the site shows the automatic page again straight away.
