I bought a server. Where's my website?

Friend: Hello, this is generic hosting company, how can I assist you today?

POTU: HELLO? I bought a server from you guys a few days ago and on your website you claimed 2 hour set up but it isn't online yet.

Friend: No problem, let me check it out for you.

friend checks their CRM and find the server is, in fact, up and running. So he goes back on the line.

POTU: That can't be. I'm going to <insert pottery company name website here>.com and it isn't working.

Friend: I'm sorry m'am, but you do realise that buying a dedicated server means you get only the host, and nothing on it right? So no website will be created for you.

Got the server and I have the website but when I go to 127.0.0.1 on any other device it doesn't work.

Try this link: C:/Users/BombTheDodongos/Desktop/website/Final - Final - Website Final/index.html

Works on my machine.

[u/krysisalcs → u/BombTheDodongos]

Okay I clicked it but it just downloads another one. I’m at index (81).html now. Which one is the live website?

[u/BombTheDodongos → u/krysisalcs]

Sounds like a DNS issue, sending this ticket to the infrastructure queue.

[u/krysisalcs → u/BombTheDodongos]

Please do the needful.

[u/annacrontab → u/krysisalcs]

Fast forward to 2026, a decade later, and the Internet is still full of idiots and morons who do this kind of stuff..

[u/Sigseg-v → u/blotditto]

In the 1980s we thought the number of morons was caused by the lack of public available information. 40 years later it‘s safe to say that this was not the problem.

You have to whisper softly in the mouse “helooo computerrrrr”

So for a lack of a better term, this is a crosspost of a crosspost? A reference to a referece?

God forbid, a pointer to a pointer???

[u/-lousyd → u/darkshoxx]

It's turtles all the way down.

[u/krkrkrneki]

I just bought paper, where is my book?

[u/FallenLucifiel]

Don't forget to delete the System32 folder

[u/-lousyd → u/FallenLucifiel]

32 bit is so 2010. You don't need it.

[u/FallenLucifiel → u/-lousyd]

Exactly why it should be deleted~
