What should I name the default page in my directories? Print

  • 970

It is very important that you name your home page, (the first page that you want visitors to see when they visit your web site), index.htm or index.html.

When a browser visits your web site by typing in your domain name, i.e. www.yourdomain.com, the browser program will automatically search for a page titled index.htm or index.html (by default). If the browser does not find one, your visitor will not be able to access your web site without a specific page name to add to the domain URL.
