public_html

[Clydesdale]

I was reading this thread http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=10601&highlight=public_html and I too am setting up my initial webpage. The first time around, I uploaded my file at the wrong place and being green at this, I deleted the "public_html" folder by mistake. I watched the bluehost tutorial video on how to upload and all seemed simple. I created a new public_html folder on the server and then uploaded my index.html file to the server in the newly created public_html folder. All uploaded great but when I type in my domain in the browser.... nothing; just opens bluehost site.

Did I deleted something else that was in public_html when I deleted public_html by mistake?

Contact support to have your account reset. This will delete everything and reset the account to just how it was when you first got it.

Perhaps you put it in the wrong place. I've deleted my public_html folder numerous times and simply creating a new folder called public_html under your home directory works fine.

There isn't really anything too important in the original public_html folder that you need to worry about.

Support WILL reset everything for you, but it usually shouldn't be necessary.

I think at some point I'll try deleting all of the system files and see if my site still functions.
