Looks good.

I’d need some screenshots of the issues they get when they are accessing the website?
Does it have a certain error code etc?

[joanasantos93]

Only when i click the .htaccess file it says:

403. Forbidden.
     The website can be reached and process the request but refuses to take further action

[joanasantos93]

You just placed the URL and it worked just fine? Weird… Cuz google doesn’t show the page when i put the link…

Any screenshot of exactly what you see?

Note some users confuse 000webhost and 000webhostAPP (I know you’ve correctly placed this in the original opening post)

Ensure your URL you are accessing is

http://joanaftptest.000webhostapp.com/

You probably already know - but

You’ve got a folder OUTSIDE the public_html folder which means visitors will not be able to view any of the files in this and the subfolders

These are the only 4 files the public can access

1. normally a local issue like software firewall or router or even ISP causing issues
2. normally when www. is used with a 000webhostapp URL
3. normally when Google has no cache on a site and the “cache” option has been selected via Google

You can try disabling firewall/ software etc

Or use a VPN/Proxy to see if it loads via that.

Windscribe

Failing that you can use alternative DNS to see if your ISP is at fault.

Sorry I’m new to web design I’m self teaching…so i have to place everything inside the public_html right, for them so see?

[Infinity]

Yes all the files you place inside the public_html folder will be accessible to the public via the web browser.
That folder within the / (root) folder currently outside the public_html will be inaccessible to anyone via the browser.

[joanasantos93]

Thank you for the info. I will try that and all the things above.
The weird thing is a few days ago it was working fine…

Could just be temporary issues in your location / ISP etc but best trying a proxy then VPN then using alternative DNS if one of these fixes then it will likely be a temporary thing anyhow.
