Hello there! Public_html folder is where all of your website files should be located along with the index.php or index.html file. A quick test to see if everything is working properly is to create an index.html file on domains/yourdomain.tld/public_html/index.html, as for contents you can use code from here.
After that, visit your website and you should see the generic landing page. As for .htaccess it can be used on any type of website not only WordPress and it can be responsible for protecting your site with a password, creating a custom-made error page or redirecting visitors to another pages, more about it here.
Now lastly, keep in mind that Python websites are only supported on our VPS plans, so if you are using shared hosting, it won’t work and you would need to migrate your files to a VPS. If I missed something or you have any additional questions, feel free to contact our live support and we will gladly help you!

Hey there! If you see a 403 Forbidden error it’s usually related to permissions. First make sure that your domain is properly pointing to your hosting provider since incorrect A record can cause 403. Next up, double check file permissions from your hosting provider File Manager, depending on the file/folder type permission values will be different. Another possible cause is .htaccess file or plugins that create restricting rules inside .htaccess file, best bet would be to reset it to its default values. Hope this helps!

Hi,

TO edit public_html, you do not need for the website to be running, as website files are edited from the File Manager or an FTP client. You can check out this article to learn how to use File Manager.
