My home page says "Under Construction." What do I do?
If you see an "Under Construction" page when you visit your domain, you have not yet replaced the placeholder home page which was created automatically when you signed up for your plan. This file is named "index.html," and can be replaced with a page you create using one of our site building tools, such as SiteBuilder, or your own site building software.
If you create your site with Yahoo! Site Solution, the index.html file is created when you publish the site.
About Your Home Page By default, the page you'll see when you visit your web address is "index.html." In order to see your web site at your domain, your site must include a file called "index.html." Files called "home.html" or "default.html," for example, will not appear by default at your domain.
If your site does not include a file called index.html (either your placeholder "Under Construction" page or a home page you created yourself), your site visitors will encounter an error when they visit your web address.
Renaming Your Home Page If you've already created a home page but are not seeing this page at your web address, you may need to rename your home page file: For example, if you named your home page "home.html," you should change its name to "index.html." With a third-party tool such as Dreamweaver, you can use your own software to rename the file, then reupload your file to replace the default "Under Construction" page we provided. If you used another tool to create your page, you can rename your page using File Manager:
- Open your File Manager by clicking the "File Manager" link on the Create & Update, Manage, or Index tabs of your Web Hosting Control Panel.
- Select the checkbox to the left of each file you want to rename.
File Manager: Checked Files - Click a Rename button.
File Manager: Rename Buttons - On the Rename Files page:
- Enter a new name for each file you selected.
- Click the Rename Files button to save your changes.
Rename Files Page
If File Manager will not let you rename the page you selected, you may need to delete the default index.html file first.
Remember that file names are case sensitive. Your home page needs to be named "index.html." If it is named "Index.html" or "INDEX.html," for example, it will not be displayed when you visit your web address. Also, be sure your file includes the extension .html. If your file name ends with .htm, you may need to resave it as an .html file.
