New site still being directed to host default site

remove the host’s any index.html to allow wordpress’ index.php to work.

If not, youmay want to contact your host and discuss the issue with them

Hi Tara, thank you for but where do I find the index.html in order to delete it?

Thanks
Alyson

You could read more about the hosts file here. If you are on a shared host you need to get in touch with your web hosting provider.

look in the root directory
