The index.html, What is it?

4 Replies

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.
