I create a page in Dreamweaver, save the page, and then upload it. Let's say the page is located at www.mywebsite.com/contact The only way I can access the page is to type www.mywebsite.com/contact.html I've been running into this issue quite a bit lately and I'm not sure why. The ONLY difference is that I have one site hosted w/ GoDaddy (where I don't have to type .html at the end to see it visible) and another hosted at BlueHost (which requires me to type .html at the end if I want to see the page on the internet). I can't believe a webhost could cause this but thats the only thing I can come up with. Anyone have any ideas?
maybe that page on godaddy is using htaccess or the file is inside a folder, for example i create the folder contact, and inside that folder i put the page with the name index.html example.com/contact/index.html that way i can access the page by typing example.com/contact because i can skip the index.html but if you have a file with a different name, like whatever.html example.com/whatever.html or example.com/folder/whatever.html you have to type the full name
