Can you take the .html of web page address?

short answer - no!

If you want to do that...

1. you create a directory under your main domain called videos
2. then you create the video html page and name it index.html.
3. upload that index.html into the directory you created called videos

Now your link will look like this...

http://www.exercisesforshoulderpain....eos/index.html

NOW you can take off the /index.html and you are left with...

http://www.exercisesforshoulderpain.com/videos

and it will work exactly how you wanted

One option would be to create this page:
exercisesforshoulderpain.com/videos/index.html
then exercisesforshoulderpain.com/videos/ would work.

Out of the box your web server configuration won't allow you to do it. You need either a CMS or do it yourself by messing around with mod_rewrite.

Or as an alternative, you create a directory with an index.html.

Using wordpress will also let you do exactly this, you simply configure "Permalinks" in the admin panel into whatever you want, and you can have pages with addresses like

http ://www.blog.com/post-name

http ://www.blog.com/category-name/post-name

http ://www.blog.com/date/post-name

or however you like.

I don't really see two options. In your Option one the /video/ part is a subfolder, isnt' it?

Rexx,

I think you may be mixing up your terms. I think you mean directory and sub-domain.

A directory is essentially a file folder of your website. Pretty much just like one on your PC. The url would look like this:

http://excersisesforshoulderpain.com/videos

A sub-directory is a directory inside another directory. Like this:

http://excersisesforshoulderpain.com/videos/evenbettervideos

A sub-domain is pretty much another site within your site. It usually has it's own cgi-bin allowing you to run perl and cgi scripts within the sub-domain that are completely separate from the main domain. It has it's own file structure. And for most of us it must be created from your Cpanel, HSphere or whatever your host uses as their site configuration and management software. The link to your sub-domain would look like this:

http://videos.excersisesforshoulderpain.com

Which one do you need? That depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

Most people create a sub-domain for no good reason. They just think the sub-domain url looks better than a directory url. No big deal, but usually just overkill. For your purposes a directory would probably be sufficient.

Take care,
