Why Aren’t My Images Displaying On My Site?

--Having trouble displaying your images on ANY of your webpages? Well, read this article and follow all suggested steps. Then, you will become a professional at displaying images on your webpages.

Step one (1)

First, your domain must be resolving (pointing) to our server, or your webpages, nor images will display. Well, you ask, how do I know if my domain is resolving to your server? It's simple, but there are two different steps. The first step applies to clients who just registered a new domain name. All you have to do is enter your domain name in the web browser. If it displays anything, you good to go. If you get an error, you must allow more time for your domain to resolve. Now, if your domain was pointing to a different hosting company, you will want to upload a web page to our server that does not exist on your other (old hosts) server. Upload any web page to /public_html and name it Woot.html. Now, type yourdomain.com/Woot.html in the web browser and see if the page displays. If it does, your domain is pointing to our server. If it does not, you must allow more time (24-72 hours) for your domain to resolve (assuming you already changed your name servers).

Step two (2):

Assure you are linking your images properly. If your image is located within your public_html folder, you would see it using the path " yourdomain.com/myimage.jpg ".

Okay, lets assume the image is in a folder called "images" and the images folder is in your public_html folder. You would then use yourdomain.com/images/myimage.jpg

Note: all your images & webpages must be within your public_html folder!

Step Three (3):

Okay, so far so good and your images are still not displaying. Well, next step is to login to Cpanel and DISABLE Hotlink Protection. You will see a icon on the main page of Cpanel and a text link stating "hotlink protection". For further documentation on how to disable this feature, consult the Cpanel documentation, however, it's very simple.

Okay, well, I bet step three or above fixed your issues and your web page is now properly displaying your image(s).
