Hi, I seem to have trouble with my websites. I am hosted on Godaddy's free hosting until I finish with my site. The thing is that most of the scripts I use don't work. This site HERE is not visible to anyone. I signed up for a random free host for testing. THe thing is, I see it fine from my house.

I thought it was only an issue with Godaddy'sservers because their ad breaks the code (Or so I thought). Conviction Fan site is one of my real sites I don't see those huge banner ads at the top either. I can only view the first site at my home and the second I can't see that huge AD. What is the problem? I am using Bellsouth if that makes an issue. I called my host (Godaddy) and then said that it was a Bellsouth allowance? I didn't quite understand. Please help. I had to start my site over about 12 times trying to get something people can see.

Does godday allow PHP?

try upload simple test

<?php
// this should not be seen
echo "<b>but this should be</b>";
?>

save as testphp.php and upload to server
if you can read it php is not there for you to use, if the second line (should be bold) isn't there either make sure you are uploading it to the correct directory - usually public_html or similar name

The second link is a godaddy banner and links so I'd say it was from them.
Check with their terms and conditions, see if they allow it or not, then find a "break out of frames" script, it's a one or two line bit of javascript that will force the frame to open outside of the frame, but BE WARNED, if this is godaddy doing it and they say they do in terms and conditions the break out will cause a continous loop which could get you booted off, so ask them again if you are unsure and tell them, even show them the link

You could be viewing a cached version of your site, refresh using f5

You have a .htaccess file, make sure that is correct and not blocking everyone, seems weird thou as there is a single ? on the page - could be result of an error in the file.

try upload a plain html file or give us a few url's to try, i tried contact, forum etc but everything was 404, so your either using a folder or other names of files.
