How do I change the home page of my website?

I%26#039;m really new to this whole making a website stuff. I use a free web host (000webhost.com) all of my pages in the website are made using html. However, when I go to the site, it says %26quot;index of/%26quot; and then a list of links of all my pages. How can I change this?|||Rename the page that you want to be the home page to %26quot;index.html.%26quot; (Without the parenthesis)





For example:


%26quot;myname%26quot;.html to%26quot; index%26quot;.html





Instead of wanting the file to be named your name then the file type, which is .html, just change it to %26quot;index%26quot; (Without the parenthesis) then the file type, which is .html.|||You need to reset this option from within the Control Panel so the server does not serve up your site%26#039;s directory.

How can I assign a non-html page as the default home page ?

I need to assign a .pl (Perl Script) extension file as the home page of my URL. I have tried this but once I changed the file name to non-html page, it%26#039;s not working. If I changed it to index.html, it is displaying as home page, but at this time Perl script doesn%26#039;t working. Anyone can help me ?|||Assuming you -- or your hosting service -- are using Apache as your web server, look at the DirectoryIndex setting. (See Apache%26#039;s website, look in the online documentation.) This setting determines what file is used as the default index file.





This setting can be changed in the httpd.conf (the overall configuration) file, or -- if your system is configured to allow it -- in your .htaccess file in your site%26#039;s directory.





The default setting is index.html. You can change it to anything else, and can even list multiple names. (The first matching name it finds will then be used.)





Make sure you have Perl set to be run properly. (See the AddType and AddHandler directives.)





If you%26#039;re NOT running Apache web server, there is probably something similar in YOUR web server software. Check the documentation.





Good luck!|||if the page is local, put that path in.....and save it as the homepage|||Just add a redirect code to index.html or us a frame.|||could you set a html page as the index and in it put a redirectional link to the .pl page?





(index.html auto-redirects to the .pl page in other words)


_|||Web sites generally only accept specific types of pages. The common ones are html (or htm), php, or asp. You would need the server configured to accept other pages. You are better to use an index.html with the script in it, this will work if your script is written correctly.

Can I change a default home page on my website?

Is there a way to change which page is selected as a default? I publish my pages with globat.com and I want to display holiday pages on certain days with a redirect to the main page. Is there a way to do that without changing the file name?





The webpage that I update is www.allsaintscs.org, and I change the www.allsaintscs.org/indexholiday.htm page to correspond with the holiday, but I don%26#039;t want to go through the hassle of changing the file names since the hosting page has index.html as my home page.|||you just have to redirect the website try putting this code in your index.html between %26lt;head%26gt; %26amp; %26lt;/head%26gt;

How do I change the title of my home page in search results?

I created my website using Yahoo Sitebuilder. The home page has to be called %26#039;index%26#039; to make it work and when it appears in search results it reads %26#039;home%26#039;.

PHP only runs in file.php only. If you want to use PHP coding the extension should be (file.php). Alternatively you can use JavaScript. I am not a big fan of JavaScript... it%26#039;s pretty much dead technology. If like me you are not, then the only choice you have is to rename the files to have a .php extension





[apologies to the JavaScript fans... i just can%26#039;t hold my tongue. Have to tell it like it is]





Good luck|||Assuming your server supports it, you can use a server side include to call a php script. An example where we%26#039;ve done this may be seen at projectenlightenment.wcpss.net/index.htm鈥?It dynamcially renders Upcoming Events in the .html page.

Can I rename my index page so it will come up on search engines? Bookmarking my home page comes up "index"

Google finds my website from it%26#039;s content, but the title of my site comes up as %26quot;Index%26quot;. I wanted to change the title of my homepage but a warning box came up telling me no one would be able to visit my site if I title it anything other than %26quot;Index%26quot;.|||The name of the FILE should be index.html, but in the page headers you can set any page title you want. What the page title is in the headers is what will show up for bookmarks, but if the main page FILE of your site isn%26#039;t named index.html, most browsers will not be able to see it.





File name and title are very different. Suppose you have a Word document for your homework. The homework is a book report on To Kill A Mockingbird. The title of the paper is: My Book Report on To Kill A Mockingbird. But you saved the Word doc on your computer as %26quot;stupid-book-report.doc%26quot;. That is the file name, like index.html. :) Got it?

Creating index page using SSI?

I%26#039;m not an expert web designer, just a humble print designer trying to get my portfolio online, so forgive my n00bishness. So anyway, I am using server side includes for my navigation, so I don%26#039;t have to update the code on 943864396 pages every time I want to make a change, but I%26#039;m not quite sure how to make the index page. As always I have to have a page labeled %26quot;index.html%26quot; but since I am using SSI, it has to be .shtml. I do not want my address to be at www.blahblahblah.com/index.shtml. How do I make it so I can just get to www.blahblahblah.com without having to add the /index.shtml? Do I just need my index.html page to redirect to the .shtml file? How do I do this? Thanks.|||First of all, there%26#039;s nothing wrong with having the .shtml extension in an address. Most people will not know the difference, and those that do won%26#039;t care. Second, you should give out the address as www.blahblah.com and just leave off the specific file reference. The default file specification on the server will take care of the rest. Ask your hosting company about setting that for you.





Meta redirects are being used less and less because they can confuse/frustrate the visitor when they try to use their back button.|||Yes, you could make your index.html page have contain the following line:


%26lt;meta http-equiv=%26quot;refresh%26quot; content=%26quot;0;URL=index.shtml%26quot; /%26gt;


Put that in the %26lt;head%26gt; area.





Or if you can use .htaccess files, try adding to / creating an .htaccess file:


DirectoryIndex index.shtml


This will only work though if the webserver%26#039;s configuration allows it.

Backlinks have been increased, but why there is no Google Indexed page increase?

Also, I found my Google indexed page is still not any change.still 1 or 2 pages. is it very important have more Goolge indexed pages? or just continue to increase my backlinks?|||Backlinks are great but not all links are equal. You need to concentrate on quality links, not quantity! Get links from sites that are somehow related to yours, don%26#039;t just spam webmasters asking for irrelevant links! The Google algorithms look for relevancy, so build good quality relevant content and spend time generating quality links.

The google rank will be based on the value of the content -- really.|||Increasing backlinks is always a good thing to do, but it does not really bear any relation when it comes to indexing.





In your Webmaster control panel, you can adjust the speed of crawling, which can help get more pages into the system, but will not guarantee more indexed pages.





Google will come back more often if your website content is changing, so keep adding more and changing things and you should see an increase in indexing.





Sadly, Google does things in its own time.

Changing the src url for an iframe with a url?

Is it possible to change the url of an iframe with the url of the main page? For example you have an iframe on the index.php page and you go to links.html and click on a link like %26quot;index.php?iframe_main src = lol.html%26quot; then it will redirect you to the main page and change the src url in the iframe to that link? Is this possible?|||I%26#039;m not exactly sure what you%26#039;re asking but if you want to put the HTTP Request variable as the iframe source using PHP, it would look something like this:





%26lt;iframe src=%26quot;%26lt;?=$_REQUEST[%26quot;iframesrc%26quot;]?%26gt;%26quot;%26gt;


%26lt;/iframe%26gt;





Assuming the url was %26quot;./index.php?iframsrc=lol.html%26quot; then lol.html would be shown in the iframe.

When I change my navigation bar on my %26quot;Index%26quot; page, for example I add or take away links, I have to go through every single page on my site and do it to each navigation bar on each page. How do I make it so that if I change something in the navigation bar on the index page, it updates all the other pages?


Is it possible? |||Yes you can but with conditions. Your pages must be part of a web (Microsoft speak for an entire website made in FrontPage) and your host must support FrontPage Extensions.

If you make individual pages or your host does not support FrontPage Extensions then no it can%26#039;t.





I had the same problem as you and found two solutions that work pretty well...





1) HTML files are just plain text so you can use a multi-file search and replace program to change all the pages in one go. BK ReplaceEm - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/bkreplace.h鈥?/a> - is a fantastic program for doing this. It%26#039;s simple to use but practice on a copy of your files until you get used to the program.





2) Create the navigation menu using JavaScript and include that on all your pages. That way you just have to edit the single JavaScript file.

What is the best way to configure your index page for SEO?

Given that backlinking is very important for Search Engine Optimization and that most backlinks go to the homepage (index page), should I put all my keyword phrases I want to target on my index page? For instance if I had a web site that sold pet supplies and I want people to search for %26quot;dog collars%26quot;, %26quot;cat litter%26quot; and %26quot;dog bowls%26quot; how should I best configure my Web site so that people searching for all 3 will have my website come up first in the search engines? Also it seems my index page should be optimized for the word %26quot;pet supplies%26quot; or %26quot;pet supply store%26quot; but those search terms are most competitve to place for, so I may be better off optimizing my Web page for less competitive terms like %26quot;dog collars%26quot; or %26quot;cat litter%26quot;. Should I then optimize my index page for the lesser competitve keywords even though %26quot;pet supplies%26quot; is the more relevant keyword phrase that describes my business on the index page? In short should I change my title, meta keyword descriptions, and header tags on my index page to reflect %26quot;dog collars%26quot; rather than %26quot;pet supplies%26quot;?|||Hi there,





The thing a lot of people get confused about is that SEO is not done on a SITE level, it%26#039;s done on a PAGE level.





Let me explain. You%26#039;re right, most ppl link to your index/homepage. It%26#039;s going to almost impossible for you to optimize your homepage, which is just ONE page, for a bunch of different keywords effectively.





Here%26#039;s how you should structure your site. Make your homepage your most broad, general themed page. So, it should be talking about pet supplies in general. Optimize your homepage for a more general, more competitive term.





Then you have subpages on your site, one page about dog supplies, one page about cat supplies, or whatever. Then optimize your subpages for the more specific, and less competitive terms.





The reason it%26#039;s going to be pretty much impossible to truly optimize your index page for more specific terms like %26quot;cat litter%26quot; or %26quot;dog collars%26quot; is because the content on your index page is more general, not specifically about cat litter or dog collars. So your keyword density will not work out. People going to your homepage will be more disappointed that it%26#039;s filled with extra info they don%26#039;t care about, since they were only looking for cat litter, not dog collars.





Your traffic will be much more qualified (i.e. more targeted and higher converting) if you send them to their respective subpages. Ppl searching for %26quot;dog collars%26quot; are brought to the dog collars page, rather than the general pet supplies homepage. Remember, each PAGE can be optimized for a specific keyword. Don%26#039;t try to optimize your index page for everything.





So no, don%26#039;t change your meta, title, header, etc. on your homepage. If you do that, then suddenly your metadata is all about dog collars, when really the content is about pet supplies in general. So all the cat litter people will not be interested, and you lose out on that.





Rather, set up subpages and optimize the subpages for the more specific and less competitive keywords.





Homepage - broader, generic, more competitive keyword w/ highest search volume


Subpage #1 - dog collars


Subpage #2 - cat litter


etc.

I tried using the Google webmaster tools, and i%26#039;m sure that my page is NOT at all in the index (i.e. i%26#039;m sure it will never show up even as the millionth hit). i tried submitting a sitemap but no change. The only changes I made to the front page, is that I call a php script (as part of %26lt;IMG SRC=%26quot;temp.php%26quot;%26gt; from an IMG source that increments a counter and logs the ip address. It%26#039;s been over a month and i have done all kinds of tricks. Any ideas why this might happen?|||To give you an accurate answer it would be helpful if you posted your site%26#039;s address.


However, to check whether your site is indexed, just type in the full address (http://www.yourname.com) into Google%26#039;s search box. You will know immediately whether your site is indexed or not.


Page rank is updated by Google every 3 months or so.

Does Google automatically re-index pages after you change the META description?

Just wondering. Also, how long does it take? Any way to speed things up?|||Not automatically..





You can set the time span in your meta tags ..





Also, use your google webmaster tools account and your google analytics (they%26#039;re free and oh so useful) ..





With both of the above you can direct googlebot to crawl your site when you want ..

Help with my homepage and .index page of my website?

Index page question (HTML and maybe Javascript?)?

I am wondering if a website can have multiple index pages (home pages) that alternate. In other words, the design of the home page can change at random when visited, even if the site structure stays the same. Is there a Javascript that can juggle index.html files at random? Maybe not. Just curious.|||There should be only one index.html, but the effect you suggest could be achieved in a number of ways.





The index page could contain a set of DOM nodes with unique id attributes. The content could be randomly selected and attached to the nodes at load time.





The index could hold a large number of content nodes, and only some of them would be randomly selected for display for any particular load.





The index page could contain an array of alternate %26quot;home%26quot; page urls. The index.html would serve only to set the window.location to a randomly selected version of the %26quot;home%26quot; page.





These are just the three ideas that leaped immediately to mind. I%26#039;m bettin%26#039; there%26#039;s more.|||you can set a default template with tables etc, but the content changes with a javascript. it is possible, try a yahoo search for it|||Yes, this easy.....





You can only have one index file because it would cause confusion.





You can setup that index file to alternate through different templates based on a random order.... (It can be based on countless factors like web browsers, operating systems, random order, etc...)





Any scripting language can achieve this like PHP or Javascript...

Templates in Dreamweaver - Why do they keep changing each other?

How does Google index pages on which the content stays the same but the file extension changes?
