Hi,

this is my first attept to host my own website so i might be missing somthing simple.

Many thanks for any help offered.

You do not currently have a default document set for your users. Any users attempting to connect to this site are currently receiving an "Under Construction page".
 
You need to set the default document in IIS to index.html.
