in order for my site to show rather than the index?

All of the files you want shown on the web should be uploaded to the public_html directory.

they're all there but when i go to my domain the index still shows up.. is there a certain folder i should put the codes inside within the public_html folder?

Your main page should be named "index" (.html, .htm, .php or whatever). If there's no file called "index" in your public_HTML folder, that's probably why you're still seeing a list of files instead of a page.

yea there is a file named index.html. its a folder actually. so do i put my html coding inside of the index folder? and then that should show up when i go to my domain?

caseylee

I'm a bit confused

Your index should be a file, not a folder. The file named "index" in a folder is the home page. So when people type in your domain, they're taken to the file named "index" that is in your public_HTML folder. If the index is in another folder inside public_HTML, then they'd have to type yourdomain.com/foldername/index.html to get to it - do you understand?

So, try moving your files out of the folder and straight into public_HTML.

Perhaps jBananna is new to all this web stuff.

Below is just an example...

/public_html/index.html
/public_html/about.html
/public_html/gallery/

index.html is a file, gallery is a folder.

Hmm, the page isn't showing up for me, not even the index directory? Have you done any changes recently to anything relative?
