If, when you navigate to your website, all you see is a list of files then more than likely your homepage has a non-standard file name. There are a couple of ways to go about resolving this.
Renaming your index filename:
Login to your hosting account via FTP
Navigate to your web root "/public_html/"
Next locate your homepage filename and rename it to "index.html" (if
it's a different type of file you will need to use the correct
extension)
If you attempt to check your website again you should see it displaying correctly
Adding your filename to the htaccess file:
Login to your hosting account via FTP
Navigate to your web root "/public_html/"
Locate and edit the .htaccess file within your account
Add the following line within the hataccess file:
DirectoryIndex Default.htm
Make the necessary adjustment to the text in bold mentioned above
Save the changes, and re-upload the .htaccess file if you downloaded it
If you attempt to check your website again you should see it displaying correctly
Performing one, or both, of these steps should have resolved the issue you were experiencing.
