5,591 PointsStill loading default webpage
My domain is: http://codingadream.com
I have successfully sftp all my project files into the www folder, but when I load my domain, I am greeted with the default welcome page by webhostingforstudents.com
To verify that I uploaded my project correctly, I loaded http://codingadream.com/index.html
I also deleted the welcome.html page that was in www folder
I've tried looking for 'change default page' in the webhostingforstudents control panel, but no luck.
Thanks for any help

I just checked your site from my connection at work and it loaded correctly with and without index.html, I would say your DNS is caching the request which you can fix normally by clearing your browsers cache, if that doesn't work you would need to clear your operating system cache which can be done via one of the many commands.
OS X Mountain Lion or Lion
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Mac OS X v10.6
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
Yosemite
sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache;sudo discoveryutil udnsflushcaches;say flushed
Windows
ipconfig /flushdns
Hope that helps.
