    Most likely your homepage was renamed incorrectly. You should only have one webpage, your homepage. If you have two web pages, one using one of the filenames shown below, only one will be displayed as your homepage. You will also have to make sure that your homepage is saved in the root directory, usually shown in FTP clients as "/". This may also help: http://wiki.myhosting.com/Published_Site_Not_Showing

    If your account was created on one of the new windows 2008/IIS7 servers you need to upload your site into the "wwwroot" folder, not the root.

    Hello tugalsan,

    You have both an index.htm and index.html. The index.html file takes precidence on the Linux site and will load first when visiting http://linux.mesametal.com. If you want index.htm to load first, rename or remove index.html.

    Hope this helps!
