 * This is the story.The URL of a website was [http://domain.com](http://domain.com)
   
   The client wanted to be [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) I went
   to Setting—->General and changed to www There was a redirection to cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.
   cgi I contacted the host, because I am not familiar with this problem and we 
   couldn’t figure out how to solve it. In the end I wiped out the whole website
   and installed all new wp with new database and all. What a nightmare. The problem
   is the same. Please see [http://www.normandyconstructionrenovation.co.uk/](http://www.normandyconstructionrenovation.co.uk/)
   with or without www Cache cleared. What is going on, please? Thank you

 * Hi Peter,
 * Thank you for asking.
    It was a tough day. With the help of my host we deleted
   everything, connected with this domain and started again and over again with 
   no result.
 * In the end I created on WHM new account for it, installed wp and again cgi-sys/
   defaultwebpage.cgi and 404 for the wp-admin. I was to tired and left it. This
   morning – all was good. The website is visible and I have an access to it.
 * What kind of magic was that? 🙂
 * Is there some explanation? Do you know?

 * Well, as I said in the previous comment, the problem is solved even though I 
   don’t know how.
