    Have you got an index.html or .htm file in the root directory? (in other words in the top directory you see first) Depending on the server configuration it may be a home file (or anything else) but index is the most common.

    You have to design your own web site.

    The first page of which has to be called index.htm or index.html (well, technically they can end in a number of different extensions but just use these ones).

    The others (if any) can be called anything so long as they end in a recognised extension).

    Once this is uploaded into (via the file manager in boards.ie) then it is automatically loaded once that folder is navigated to in you're browser.

    The files need to be in your public_html folder.
