The files of your website to into the `htdocs` directory of your account, not the root account. If you delete the htdocs directory, your website will only show 404 error pages. Please delete all the files and directories you created in the root folder, create a new folder with the name `htdocs`, and upload your website files to it. ---

You are missing your index page. Make sure all the files are uploaded. If `home.php` is what is supposed to show when the site is loaded, you will need to rename it to `index.php` ---
