8. Uploaded files but still see white page

If our white "Welcome to domainname.com!" page, index.html, has not been replaced by another index page, then anyone going to domainname.com will still see the white page instead of some other home page.

This is the order in which the web server looks for a page to put up as the "home" page:

>DirectoryIndex

default.htm index.phtml index.pht index.cgi index.shtml
index.html welcome.cgi welcome.html index.htm

Just delete the index.hmtl file and anything after it in this list will then come up automatically. Notice that "home.html" is NOT on the list and so will not show up as your home page. You would need to rename it.
