Removing the "Website Under Construction" Default Page

 

If your domain shows a "This website is still under construction, please visit us later" page, it means there is no custom index file in your public_html directory. The server displays this default placeholder until you upload your own website files.

 

How to Replace It

  1. Log into cPanel and open File Manager
  2. Navigate to the public_html folder
  3. Look for a file called index.html or default.html. This is the placeholder page.
  4. Delete it or rename it to something like default.html.bak
  5. Upload your own website files, making sure your main page is named index.html or index.php

 

If you installed WordPress or another CMS through Softaculous, it should have replaced the default page automatically. If you still see the construction page after installing a CMS, check that the installation went into the public_html root and not a subfolder.
