    This is the story.The URL of a website was https://domain.com
    The client wanted to be https://www.domain.com
    I went to Setting—->General and changed to www
    There was a redirection to cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
    I contacted the host, because I am not familiar with this problem and we couldn’t figure out how to solve it.
    In the end I wiped out the whole website and installed all new wp with new database and all.
    What a nightmare. The problem is the same.
    Please see https://www.normandyconstructionrenovation.co.uk/ with or without www
    Cache cleared.
    What is going on, please?
    Thank you

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you for asking.
    It was a tough day. With the help of my host we deleted everything, connected with this domain and started again and over again with no result.

    In the end I created on WHM new account for it, installed wp and again cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi and 404 for the wp-admin. I was to tired and left it. This morning – all was good. The website is visible and I have an access to it.

    What kind of magic was that? ??

    Is there some explanation? Do you know?

    Well, as I said in the previous comment, the problem is solved even though I don’t know how.
