What should I name my opening page?

Both index.html and index.htm will work for standard HTML pages. For an HTML that includes Server Side Includes use index.shtml and for a default script, use index.pl or index.cgi. If your page contains PHP code, you can use index.php, or if your page contains ASP code, you can use index.asp. If no file with one of those names exists, a directory listing of your web space will be displayed instead.
