Your homepage is the file that loads automatically when someone visits your domain.
Accepted Homepage Filenames
Common homepage filenames include:
- index.html
- index.htm
- index.php
- index.shtml
If more than one homepage file exists in the same folder, the server will load the one with the highest priority.
For most websites, use index.html.
Use Lowercase Filenames
Linux servers are case sensitive.
This means Index.html is not the same as index.html.
Use lowercase filenames for homepage files.
Put the File in the Correct Folder
For the main website on your hosting account, upload the homepage file to:
public_html
For another domain on the same hosting account, upload the homepage file to that domain’s document root.
