Also known as a landing page or an under-construction page, a one-page site is the perfect solution for a temporary place holder. The site tells visitors that your real site is coming soon, and lists any important information. Typically, you will include contact and order information useful for offline contact (i.e. phone number, mailing address, email).

Create a Temporary Page:

The easiest option is to use the File Manager found in your control panel.

1. Log into cPanel (Services > My Services > Active > Login to cPanel)

2. Click on the File Manager icon

3. On the pop-up, choose to go to the Web Root (public_html/www) folder

4. Find the index.html file, right click it and select HTML Edit option form the drop down menu.




If the file does not exist, create a file index.html

• Go to the top menu on the page and click the New File icon
• For the new file name, type "index.html" (without the quotation marks). 
• Click the Create New File button. Once that is done, check step 4.

 

 

The page that appears will allow you to have a WYSIWYG editor which makes web design seem simple.

To remove the page, delete the file that was created in the previous steps. The file can also be replaced with a new version with the same file name instead.
