How do I redirect to my index.html page?

Question

I have a .com address with 1&1 webhosting.
I am using Dreamweaver to build my site.
Everything is working so far, but I have one issue. It may be simple to resolve, but I don't know what to do.
Right now, when you go to mysite.com, an error page comes up, but when you go to mysite.com/index.html, my home page pops up.
I want to make it so that you don't have to type in index.html to get to my home page.
I want mysite.com to redirect to mysite.com/index.html without the visitor typing the whole thing in.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Before I answer ill need to know somethings first.
1 are you hosting this site on your own computer or some other host.
in any case you need to set that index.html as the default page.
in my case I'm hosting my site on my Mac server at home and in the settings I can set what file will display when someone hits my .com
you can try this as well make a 2 copy's of the index.html
rename one default.html and or .htm
rename one index.htm

it's possible that it just doesn't like the .html
hope this helps if not post more info on how the site is being hosted.
If it's an external hosting look for the setting that will point to the .html to htm file

Go to the domain registrar and set up blind url forwarding (they should have that on their control panel...) to forward your domain name appropriately
