When you type in my main domain addy it shows a list of files and folders located there. Instead of seeing thins I want users to get My index html. How can I make it so when they type in www.mydomainname.com it automatically pulls up www.mydomainname.com/index.html without using a redirect?

Is your index.html or index.php in your root directory?

E.G. (home/username/public_html/index.html)

all you have to do is very simple create your home page and name it as index.html or index.htm or index.htm and upload the file to your root directory everytime some one types your www.domainname.com it will be directed to www.domainname.com/index.html/htm/php etc.,
