Web space help...

brodyhooperquint · 22 Dec 2004

Hi...
I have bought webspace from a hosting company. One 2 gig and one 99 gig. On the 99 gig one I am having problems assigning a domain name. Our host got back to me and said that there was no index page on the 99 gig space.
But on the 2 gig space there is an index page. The hosting company says either make an index page or point the domain to another folder other than the htdocs, what I want to know is how do you make an index page.
I'm a complete newbie to this side of things so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Colin

Create a HTML document and call it "index.html". Then upload it to the root folder, which would appear to be "htdocs" in your case.

Save this as index.html with notepad or whatever. Very basic but it will be something.

Code:

<html>
<title>Coming Soon</title>
<body>
<br /><br /><br />
<center>
<h1>This Page... Coming Soon.
</h1>
</center>
</body></html>

I really don't see what index pages has to do with domains, but I hope i works.

Zedric, some hosts use certain cpanels that wont do anything unless there is an index page of somesort present.. odd i know but it does happen

most control panel stick a standard index.html page in the folder for the newly added domain, at least sensible ones do
