  • The “home” page is named index.html or index.htm. Be sure to check inside your Control Panel to turn off directory listing of your site for security reasons.

  • Usually the “main page” of a website is called index.htm However, your domain host might also allow you to use index.html, index.php, index.asp, or any multitude of others. Your safest bet, if you are creating the page in html, is to save the file as index.htm

  • Depending on the server used for your site, you need to name a page ‘index.html’, ‘index.htm’ or ‘default.htm’
