In the
"root" of your web space you must create a file called either index.html, index.shtml or index.htm (only one of these though!).This file that will be displayed when someone requests:
http://www.your-domain-name.com - the web server will send http://www.your-domain-name.com/index.html or index.shtml or index.htm (whichever is present).
The same is true of sub-directories - if you had a subdirectory
/products - if someone requested http://www.your-domain.name.com/products the web server will send http://www.your-domain-name.com/products/index.html or index.shtml or index.htm (whichever is present).
Other files in your
web space can have any name or extension you choose (there are some technical restrictions over the length or characters it may contain) but filename.html, filename.shtml and filename.htm are standard for HTML web pages.
