If you receive an error that says “403 Forbidden” or “Forbidden” when visiting your website or a virtual host of your website, this most likely means that you have not uploaded an index.html file to the website. Be sure that you have uploaded files into the web directory for your virtual host or website, and be sure that the main page is named index.html. If you have an index.html file uploaded, your web server configuration may have been modified incorrectly. Jumpline.com Customer Service can identify these problems and assist you in resolving them.
