Stay Calm: The Five Layers a Site Passes Through
Work five layers in order — the fault lives in one of them:
- DNS — dig yourdomain.com from a terminal; a fresh site may simply still be propagating
- Hosting status — client area: suspended account, expired plan, unpaid invoice
- Files — the site root holds WordPress's index.php, not a placeholder page ('future home' pages mean DNS points at a default host page)
- WordPress itself — white screen or maintenance file; check wp-content/debug.log
- Caches — browser hard-refresh, CDN purge, plugin cache clear
Can others see it but you can't? Local cache or DNS — flush and retry. Our WordPress hosting support diagnoses layer by layer with you, and the not-showing-up guide details each check.
Layer 1: Domain and DNS Checks
Set the nameservers at the registrar, then edit records only in the DNS host those nameservers point at. Editing the other panel does nothing. A website and its mail can use different hosts: the A record sends the site, MX sends the mail.
Layer 2: Hosting Account Status
On nameserver mismatch, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
Layer 3: Files in the Right Folder
Two practical notes on expired domain or hosting: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.
Layer 4: WordPress Itself (Logs, White Screen, Maintenance)
Install WordPress from the one-click installer into the document root you intend to use, not into a surprise subfolder. Note the admin URL and set a real password. Delete the default post and the unused themes after you have logged in.
Layer 5: Caches (Browser, CDN, Plugin)
On white screen of death, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
When to Call Support (and What to Send Them)
On stuck maintenance mode, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
