how can I define a different file to show when people visit the website, instead of index.html. My client dont want a link to the index (home page), but the page must show when you visit the web. Thanks
the name of the first page of domain , are depend of , which language you use, index.htm, index.html, index.asp, index.php, default-asp, default.php and etc... if u use index.html u can write the link like: www.example.com OR www.example.com/index.html are the same.
Hint: Splash page code. My assumption, you client don't want visitor to see index.html for the first time. But if they want to see the index.html, they still can do so.
Like ralph stated, you can manually set this if you have access to the .htaccess file. If you don't there is another way you can do this. If your default page is, say, index.php, you can make it instantly redirect to the page you want to go to so that the user will only see the end page and not index. For example: <?PHP header("Location: otherpage.html"); ?> If your default page is HTML and PHP is not supported, you can still use META REFRESH to redirect.
