Your home page is the first page a visitor will see when typing your domain.com into an address field, generally, this page is an index.html or index.php file, if this file does not exist your visitor will be brought to a directory listing of the files and folders in the folder they are viewing (which is normally /home/user/public_html/

Change your homepage

If you wish to change what Apache recognizes as your home page, you can modify the .htaccess file in that directory. Simply add a line with the following text:
DirectoryIndex filename.html index.cgi index.pl default.htm
The filenames after DirectoryIndex ( filename.html, index.cgi, index.pl and default.htm) are just examples. You could make your default page tralfaz.htm and it would work, AND be transparent to your endusers.
