When your account is configured, LightHouse Hosting posts a "Welcome" page for you until you design and post your own pages. This placeholder page is named "index.html". When you are ready to post your own pages, you must use this name, index.html, for your new home page in order to overwrite the placeholder. If you do not name your new home page as specified here, your domain name will continue to direct itself to the original welcome page.
