Websites cannot work without files. If there are no files listed within the document root for a domain name, there will not be a website to be seen. Files can be uploaded to the document root folder directly using a file manager from within the hosting control panel or file transfer protocol, also known as FTP.
For more information on document root and uploading files, please refer to the following articles:

Pro-Tip for VPS and Dedicated Server Owners
Owners of VPS and Dedicated Servers have the ability to edit or change various ports to their liking. To ensure that the site is completely accessible, please note the following points:
If Apache has been bound to a different port, that port number will need to be used after your domain name to connect appropriately to your control panel.
For example:
http://mydomain.com:8081
If Apache has been bound to a port other than port 80, access to that port must be granted through your computer’s firewall.
