Website not found

[Designer1]

My new website is doing the same thing my old one did where people on different browsers, phones and desktops are visiting my site and it says page not found.

The other messages will be like risky website do you want to continue. My website is about residential design.

Lastly, often if you don’t type it in completely like w w w etc it will say page not found. Also using links sometimes has the same message.

Any ideas on what I can do for it to act like a normal well behaved website?

Thanks in advance.

This means that it is also the same issue as your old website: DNS propgation. There’s not lot one can do except waiting or clearing the cache to make it “act like a normal well behaved website”.

@Designer1

risky website do you want to continue

This is a different issue though.

Why Do I See a "Deceptive Site Ahead" Warning on My Website?

If you’re trying to access your website and encounter a bright red warning page that looks something like this: Deceptive site ahead Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information such as passwords or credit cards. Advisory provided by Google Safe Browsing. Don’t worry - you’re not alone. This article will explain what this warning means, why it appears, and what steps you can take to fix it. What…

Thank you for the reply.

I’m not sure why this isn’t happening when I visit or others visit big websites like Amazon, apple or others. If it was just my computer doing this when I visited my site I would assume clearing the cache from the browser.

It just seems when multiple people on different browsers, computers and phones are saying similar things it makes me want to fix whatever that is.

I just want it to be a simple process for people to visit my site versus them emailing me saying my website isn’t working or it keeps saying page not found. It just doesn’t look like a legitimate site if someone has to go through all that trouble just to see my website.

So there’s nothing else I can try? Why do other well know sites like the ones I listed never give that error message.

Thanks for your reply I’m just frustrated with my site not working the way I’d like it to.

Why do other well know sites like the ones I listed never give that error message.

If you mean the error of “not found” kind, then that’s because those websites has been setup for years, and of course doesn’t have DNS problems. DNS problems always happens on new sites. This is unfortunately just how the Internet works. Just give it sometime and it will “act like a normal well behaved website”.
And if you don’t want others asking you why the site isn’t working, then maybe the next time you setup a new site, wait for several days before you rush to tell everyone about it?

What is DNS propagation

You’ve added a new domain name to your account, just changed your nameservers or recently modified some DNS settings. However, they aren’t working yet. You’ve discovered already that it’s not working yet because of something called “DNS Propagation”. But what does that mean? Introduction to DNS Before you can understand how DNS Propagation works, you need to understand how DNS itself works. So let’s start with that. Servers on the internet are identified by a set of numbers called an IP addres…

When will my domain name start working

If you’ve just created your account, or just added a new domain name to an account, you may be surprised that you are unable to view your website when using the domain. Instead you may see: An advertisements page, with ?z being added to the URL. An error saying “This site can’t be reached”. This is usually caused by a system called DNS Caching. This article explains how DNS Caching works, why your website isn’t up yet and what you can do to see your website right now. When will I be able to …

If you mean the error of “deceptive site” kind, then that’s because those websites has been setup for years and is widely trusted. Websites using a free subdomain, on the other hand, tend to have the “noisy neighbour effect” where one bad site could affect the entire domain. This is how security system in browser works and unfortunately is not something we can control. You must bring up this to the corresponding company that is giving the error.

DNS propagation can take up to 72 hours. Even the banners at the client area say so. You can also check for any spelling issues in the code.

@Designer1

The other messages will be like risky website do you want to continue. My website is about residential design.

Try setting up SSL if you havent already. It might as well be a false positive, try contacting the support of the list

@Designer1

Lastly, often if you don’t type it in completely like w w w etc it will say page not found. Also using links sometimes has the same message.

Could you be a bit more clear?

[Designer1]

Thank you for all the additional information and the reply!

[Designer1]

Thank you for your reply. I’m not a techy person and don’t know code at all. I just use rocketcake to design my website and upload to infinity. So I’m unsure how to look at code etc.

My old website that was doing the same thing was a year old and this one is a couple weeks old so it’s definitely older than 72 hours. Hopefully from what I was reading from someone else’s reply this type of stuff may work itself out as time goes on.

What I mean by the w w w thing was usually for a website you can type in without the www and it goes right to the site. If you don’t put the www in on my site it won’t find it.

Thanks for your help!

Huh that’s really wierd, maybe you can contact rocketcake? Not sure how exactly rocketcake works but you could ask them

Also, are you sure you are putting the website contents in the “htdocs” folder? This is the root of the website, so /htdocs/hello.txt in the file manager will be website.com/hello.txt

[Designer1]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, everything went into the correct folder. I’m going to give it more time hopefully the website will work itself out and things will improve the longer it’s online.

Another member mentioned when the websites are new they might have issues. So hopefully this is the problem and it will work fine in the coming weeks.
