Hi and welcome to the forum!

If the file you uploaded is an index file of the following formats: `index.php`, `index.html` and `index.htm`, then when you visit your website you should see it right away, else you’ll be two clicks away to access it - and for that you should either consider renaming the file you uploaded to one of those or adding this to your .htaccess file (you need to create it on your `htdocs` folder, don’t use the one on the `/` or root folder):

```auto
# replace home.html with your website's index file
DirectoryIndex home.html

```

, replacing `home.html` with the file you want to show as home page (I wrote that in the comment as well). If you still can’t see it and instead you see an error page or an advertisement page, please note that it can take up to 72 hours for your website to start working:

> You’ve just added your domain to InfinityFree or changed your nameservers, but when you visit your domain, you’re seeing a “DNS Resolution Error” page, an error message, or your old website instead of your new hosting account. This is completely normal and happens because of something called DNS caching. How long should I wait? Most domains start working within 24 hours. However, it can take up to 72 hours for your domain to work for everyone around the world. This timing depends on factors out…

That’s all the help I can give without sharing your domain name. If you want more help, you should consider sharing it (and compiling the template) so we can help you even more.
