In most cases, you don't
. Just name your homepage file
index.html (or
index.php, if you ended up using php).
If you
really want to have it named as something else, you will need to use
.htaccess (intentional dot). You can only use it if your host allows it, and this is unlikely. However, if you are allowed to use it with your host, this is how.
.htaccess works by using a file called (drumroll)
.htaccess. This is a text file, which contains special instructions for the server concerning that directory, and its subdirectories. You can create one in Notepad, and type this inside:
code:
DirectoryIndex homepage.html
if
homepage.html is your homepage, or you use another filename. In Notepad, save the file as
".htaccess" with quotes (otherwise Notepad will think that you really wanted
.htaccess.txt and save it as that).
