How do I get my home or welcome page to load automatically when someone accesses my web site?

First, you need to make sure that your greeting or welcome page has the file name "index.html" (or "index.htm"). The index.htm(l) file is the standard file automatically called when you type in a regular url into your browser.

As long as your welcome page is named index.html your visitors will see it by just typing www.yourcompany.com, rather than having to find the file directly (ie.:www.yourcompany.com/welcome.html")
