I work under OS WindowXP. I bought domain www.tvan.cz inclusive relevant web hosting. I use FileZilla to link to server. Suddenly and without warning is my www page blocked and labeled with message (IE 403 Forbidden):

"Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at www.tvan.cz Port 80"

What could it mean? I am not user of Ubuntu OS. Would you like give me an advice what to do?

Thank you Tomas Vanura

Your hosting provider is using Ubuntu. – emgee Apr 13 '11 at 3:09

Not knowing anything about the hosting provider and the contract you entered into, my first guess is the apache server of your host is by default looking for the (predefined in httpd.conf or included sub-configuration) index page to your virtual host's directory.

I suggest you try uploading an "index.htm" (or .html, .php, etc.) to the root of your FTP directory, and see what happens. Most apache configs don't allow directory listings so if you don't have an index page, a 403 is what you will get.

Let us know how this works for you. Keep in mind more detailed technical information would be required to assist you further.
