Hello, More often than not it’s just a matter of going through all the necessary steps and probably not the code.
I used co-pilot to research your issue and this is what it suggested.

  1. File Placement – Your index.html file should be inside the public_html directory in your GoDaddy cPanel File Manager.
  2. Permissions – Ensure your file has the correct permissions (typically 644 for files and 755 for folders).
  3. Domain Connection – If your domain isn’t properly linked to your hosting, your site won’t appear. Check your domain settings in GoDaddy.
  4. Cache Issues – Sometimes, browsers cache old versions of a site. Try clearing your cache or opening your site in an incognito window.
  5. Default Page Conflict – If there’s another default file like index.php, it might override your index.html. Remove or rename conflicting files.
  6. Propagation Time – If you recently updated your domain settings, it might take some time for changes to reflect.
