webpage question please help?

Question

how do I name my page in dreamweaver so it shows up correctly on the browser?

For example, I want the homepage to just show up as www.kate.com not www.kate.com/home_html

I need it so like any other website the main page is on www.kate.com and not the other way, how do I do this?

yes I meant .html not _html.

But how someone said it has to be like that just linked to the site, I don't think that is true.

For example www.guess.com and www.migente.com, their homepage is that same address except a / is the only thing added to it. This is what I need

Answer 1

The first answer is correct. If you go to just the website name without specifying a file, the server tries to find index.html or index.htm - if it finds it, it displays it. If not, it looks for index.php (if your server has php). However, you can change this by using a file called .htaccess

It would be easier to just rename your file index.html, though.

If you don't have an index.html or index.htm or index.php file on the site, then anyone going just to www.kate.com will get a list of all the files. And you definitely don't want that. It only encourages people to meddle.

Answer 2

Hi;
You can't change the name in the adress bar but you can simply put a title in dreamweaver to display the name as you wish. Or write what you want between the title tags in the html code...

Answer 3

It has to be like that, but if it is linked to kate.com, itll automatically redirect to kate.com/home_html, however why is it an underscore, it should be a .html

Answer 4

Your page needs to be named index.htm or index.html or index.php, etc
