    You need to upload to your server in the root directory a page called index.html.

    So the page you want to show (assuming it is not a script) would be called
    index.html

    Go to your FTP program and upload that file, then you should be able to see it on the internet.

    You don't find it really. You must name your file on your own hard drive
    index.html

    then when you ftp into the server, you see the index.html on your hard drive and move it over to your server or hosting acct.

    You need to make an Index.html file with your Dreamweaver or whatever software your using. Once you make it , it goes into the directory folder of your server/host, if you are looking to use the server for one website, this folder is normally the public_html folder. If you creted a sub domian then it would go into that folder.
