Fixing the Website Builder 404 error
Some of you might come across the error that can happen with Website Builder sites. It looks like this:
If you see this, have no fear. This is an easy fix.
Step 1: Log out of Website Builder. Everywhere. This fix will not work if the builder is still open anywhere.
Step 2: Log into your Homestead account at homestead.com and click on Websites Manager
Step 3: Choose the site that is experiencing the error from your list of sites (if you have more than one) and click "Rename"
Step 4: Click the yellow button that says "Check Availability", then click "Save"
Step 5: Go re-publish and enjoy your functional published site!

Getting below error when trying to download site builder. Want to start updating my website and am not able to download the builder to do so. What is the fix for this?
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

No. Not a working option. 404 error is when you are clicking on "websites manager" on menu of Homestead HOME page. No sites to click on to alter in any way. All but "Constant Contact" menu options work, but in its case, it just goes nowhere. No 404 message.

I can't even get to the page to rename it - its a 404 error just clicking website manager. Very frustrating as I have an important update I need to do.

So frustrating. I phoned yesterday and was just told 'hmmm I don't know what could be wrong'. They escalated it. I have a super important update I needed to do a week ago and have no access! Not good....time to switch companies soon I think!

When I follow these instruction it says the site name I want to use is not available! But I have been using it for ten years!
Google says I have site indexing issues and wants a file downloaded to my page?! I have no idea what is going on or how to fix this.

But I don't want to change my webpage name and the name I am using does not come up as an option.

I tried this fix for www.greatamericanplumbing.com and it is not working. I can't figure out why the site is not working after following the instructions for transferring domains. My company rebuilt the site, moved the domain to point to the new site and now we get a block that says hosted by homestead.

This does not work because when I click "Websites Manager," it doesn't pull up that page. That's where I'm getting the 404 error message. I can't get to any of my websites! Help please!
