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
- Log into cPanel and open File Manager
- Navigate to the
public_htmlfolder - Look for a file called
index.htmlordefault.html. This is the placeholder page. - Delete it or rename it to something like
default.html.bak - Upload your own website files, making sure your main page is named
index.htmlorindex.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.
