We have my brothers site ready but when you click his url it just a list of files in the root folder and not the site.

what do I do to get it to see the site?

www.horsehandler.co.uk

Hi Mick, yes it is in there.

We have cpanel and it goes www file then horseh file then index is in there

Ah-ha that is the problem isn't it, I have to move index out of horseh and into the actual www file .... yes?

Mick

Index page definitely shows under http://horsehandler.co.uk/horseh/

Incidentally, my sister is also a Horse Whisperer, having completed the relevant training in NZ. She mainly concentrates on behavioural problems with racehorses.

The other way of doing it is to upload an htaccess file with this line:

DirectoryIndex index.html

(but if the index file isn't there in the first place ...!)
