So I just created my account and domain today and set it up and I get 403 error. Is that normal for the first day?

403 error

Redirected to InfinityFree 403 Forbidden page

While working on your website, you may be redirected to the InfinityFree 403 error page. This article explains why this can happen, and what you can do to solve it. The directory does not contain an index file If you try to request a URL without a file name in the URL (e.g. http://example.com/ or http://example.com/blog/), the server will look for a so-called index file. An index file is a file with the name index.php, index.html, index.htm or index2.html in the folder you’re trying to access.…

I try putting an index.html but it doesn’t show up even thought it acted like it was uploaded. I did add an index.js and an index.css

Also, It wouldn’t let me add commands.html but there is commands.js and commands.css

Why are my files deleted after uploading them

Sometimes, when you upload a file, the upload is completed but the file is deleted immediately afterwards. This is usually caused by one of the following issues: The file is not in a htdocs folder All websites files must be uploaded to either the main htdocs folder, or to the domain specific htdocs folder (like example.com/htdocs).

[Admin]

I’m sorry, but what are you hoping will happen if you have an index.js and index.css file?

By default, the server looks for files named index.php, index.html or index.htm, in that order. Those files will be loaded to get HTML content that will be sent to the browser to render.

Sure, you could add index.js or index.css as valid index files too using .htaccess rules. But Javascript code and CSS alone don’t make a web page: you need HTML too.

So instead of just ignoring your index.html file, you may want to figure out why your index.html file is being deleted, and try to solve that.

And a good place to start is the knowledge base article @Frank419 shared above.
