Website not publishing on correct url

[RSherman5]

I published my website, but when I type the url into the browser I get a 404 error. The url I type is “signal7capital.com”. However when I type “signal7capital.com/home” it works properly. How do I get my page to populate when a user types “signal7capital.com”?

The DNS appears to be correct and I’ve got a green light on all my domains (see picture).

Hi @RSherman5 ,

Thanks for sharing the screenshot. From what I can see, your main page (homepage) is currently published with the slug /home, which means it will only load when someone visits signal7capital.com/home. That’s why you’re seeing a 404 error when trying to access just signal7capital.com.

To fix this, your homepage needs to be published at the root path (i.e., with a blank slug) so that it loads directly at your domain URL.

Here’s how to update it:

1. In your HubSpot account, go to: Settings → Website → Domains & URLs
2. Under your connected domain click the “Edit” or “Actions” dropdown.
3. Choose “Edit default content.”
4. In the Default page field, make sure the slug is completely blank (leave it empty or just use “/”).
5. Save changes and republish the homepage.

After that, visiting signal7capital.com should correctly load your homepage.

Another alternate option (if needed) -
If you want to automatically send anyone from “signal7capital.com” to “signal7capital.com/home”, you can also create a URL redirect in HubSpot, but the preferred method is to publish the homepage at the root.
