Web guru's I need your help. I have migrated hosts of my iWeb website. However I try to upload the new files using FTP and it come up with this error.

I understand that there is an error in line 1 of my index but how do I sort this out? I never had a problem with this before.
 
Did you try to embed some PHP code onto the page? There shouldn't be given it's a .html page, which shouldn't have any PHP. The error itself is somewhat typical of a BOM (byte order mark) issue, which relates to how the file was saved. Saving the file as utf-8 with no BOM usually fixes it. Considering your site is a iWeb one though it likely doesn't give that option. Are you editing the files after publishing at all or using some 3rd party software on it?
 
It turns out my host has issues with iWeb, thus I am changing to one that works.

Thanks for your help anyway!
