Error pages look scary, but most have a simple cause.
403 Forbidden
- Check your website has an index.php or index.html file inside public_html.
- Folders should normally have permissions 755 and files 644 (change them in the File Manager).
- A rule in your .htaccess file may be blocking visitors; rename the file to test.
404 Not Found
- The page or file doesn't exist at that address. Check spelling and capital letters in the file name.
- For WordPress, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save to rebuild links.
500 Internal Server Error
- Usually a broken .htaccess rule or a PHP error. Rename .htaccess to test.
- Try a different PHP version.
- For WordPress, a faulty plugin is the most common cause: rename the wp-content/plugins folder to disable all plugins, then re-enable them one by one.
