How can I get rid of an ERROR 403 on my site?

I once had a paid website and GO DADDY stole it back with no refund.

Hard to believe but true.

Anyone know about this stuff?

How can I get my site back?

That stands for forbidden, or access denied. You'll need to check the permission settings of the file system and in configuration files.

@SW-User How do I do that???

SW-User

@Platoscave That depends on the hosting service. I'm not sure about GoDaddy, but it's usually done through the control panel and/or FTP client.

@SW-User If I can't get in no control panel available either

@Platoscave Then there may be a problem with your account rather than your website.

@SW-User yeah it was jacked.

my computer has been abusing me in many ways lately but this by far is the worst.

problem is the repair shops don't ever really secure your machine cause they want more problems and therefore more business.

No software apparently was ever able to prevent this kind of abuse.
I don't do much online now except this SW and an occasional email

and of course Radio Unnameable on wbai.

@Platoscave Any antivirus software would have prevented that. You could have easily installed that yourself if the store didn't do that for you.

@SW-User I had it. I had everything supposedly in place to protect me.

I am starting to feel as if you people are all thinking I'm making this up.

SW-User

@Platoscave In that case the issue may not be with your computer but with the server. Did you pay the bills for the account?

Platoscave · F

@SW-User would you fail to pay your electric bill and then bitch all over SW that your lights went off?

huh?

SW-User

@Platoscave I wouldn't assume so. I guess you also didn't violate their terms and rules then. Well, I'm not the one who shut your account down. You'll have to ask the hosting company that did.
