:roll: :roll:
if you are that uneducated you should not be running your own webserver
the index.htm is the first page you will see when you go to your website

Well now come on, he has to learn somehow.
Heres a little more explination: Index.html is a manditory page. It is the "index" or front page of your website. If someone went to yourdomain.com, the first page they would see is "index.html." Therfore, yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com/index.html are basically the same thing.
If you are just beginning with webpages, however, I suggest trying Geocities or Angelfire first. Hosting your own website can get complicated at times (not to mention the security risks if you don't know what you're doing).

| Well if you change your mind, I may be able to host your site, just for the heck of it. Just to see what it's like i guess. http://msmollison.no-ip.org:3333 |
