Create an “Under Construction” Page
2011
In order not to lose their favorite domain to others people (especially .TLD domain) some people will register their domain and hosting before they get a designer to design their website. In this case, once your domain and hosting account being create, most hosting company will place a holding page for their customer example like: COMING SOON. Even some of the hosting company will publish their own page at this FUTURE website to “free” advertise their own services which i personally disagree to do so. It is very easy to build your own “Under Construction” page, you just need to follow the step below then you will get your holding page up in just a few minutes.
Instruction:
- Of course you need a domain and hosting to be ready. You may visit Yeahhost to register your domain and hosting account.
- Open any web editor / creator software which install on your computer. For example: Notepad (come with every Windows PC), Notepad++ (a free source code editor).
- Copy and paste the code below into the web editor / creator page and save it as index.html.
(A) Wording Holding Page – only show word with no image.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>UNDER CONSTRUCTION</TITLE> (You may put your own title)

# for this line <img src=”index.jpg”alt=”Coming Soon” width=”800″ height=”568″/> you must specified where is the location /folder you store your photo. In this example, the file “index.jpg” is store as same level with the index.html file. If you store the image file in a folder name “image” then the code should be change to <img src=”image/index.jpg”alt=”Coming Soon” width=”800″ height=”568″/>. You may also change the width and height of your photo according to your need.
