The index.html, What is it?

Have you ever wonder what is an index.html?

 

An index.html, in some cases default.html, is the main page of our website. It is the default file that our browser/server look for to view our website. The file extension(.html) also varies to what programming language we are using.

  • PHP -> index.php
  • ASP -> index.asp
  • ASP.Net ->index.aspx
  • JSP -> index.jsp
  • HTML ->index.html

It can also be set on some programming language on what specific file should the browser/server look for.

 

So be reminded that if you are developing a website that you should set the main page’s file name of your website to index.
