Are you sure you have to use the "." Before the name? Have you tried without it?
I tried renaming taking away the period it still doesn't help.
And when you check what's inside the well-known folder in the cPanel you do see the files or you see the pki-validation folder?
I don't see pki validation. I see the folder acme challenge and in that I see the two verification files

Is it possible that you have 2 different ".well-known" folders? try changing the name for whatever and trying to access it again with the browser. If it works then there is a ".well-known" folder in another directory and that is the one you should edit.

If it fails, then it would be really strange that you don't see the same folders inside the browser and the cPanel.

It seems like you're right. I tried changing the folder name but I can still access mysite.com/.well-known and it shows the pki folder.

But I don't see any other .well-known folder in the file manager on cpanel?

Upload a file to the same directory you are uploading the ".well-known" folder and try to access it. You shouldn't be able.

You don't have any search function in you cPanel FTP? What is the full path to where you are uploading (you can change sensitive info, I just want to know what is before and after yoursite.com)

I found the other one it was in the public_html folder

Thanks.

I'm assuming that it's better to set indexing to "no indexing" on cpanel. Is that true and are there any disadvantages for doing so?

Where is the best place to "park"  a domain? My intention would be that when someone goes to the domain, it'll display a message that I put up.

ETA: I don't know if "park" Is the right word. I just want a custom message/image to show up when people visit the site.

If you have your domain from name.com they have a 'prologue site' option $5/year

Why don't you sign up to a free hosting plan that has a drag and drop site builder and just put whatever you want on there

Where can I find an inexpensive webhosting service for a domain with five very basic html pages receiving very very little traffic.

How reliable do you need the uptime to be?

I don't need 99.9% uptime but would like it to be unusual for it to be down.

It says the $3.95 is a special price with the regular price being $11.95. That sounds to be an introductory only price. Are there any better pricing than this?

Correct, but you can take a 3 year package.

Does anyone have better pricing? Either not requiring prepaying for years of service or a lower effective monthly cost for hosting if prepaying?
