    Hello if you want to change the filename on the server, you can use an ftp client like filezilla or cuteftp.

    But you will need an index.html in the root folder for the domain to point to.

    Let me know if this helps, thanks.

      login to FTP with Filezzilla or any other decent client and rename the file which could be located in your www_html or public_html folder.

        Hi,

        Ok, Here`s the Deal; I am thankful to the three of you Casius;GMatthers and Nathaniel Deal.
        The three advice from each of you are sound. Thank You.

        However, I have another problem with my website: The Home Page is built and I want to
        make two more copies of that same page as it is before I put any text on it, because the other two pages are Products Page; and About Me page so the text would be different, but all three pages have within them the same three navigation buttons, Home, Products.About me. How do I go about copying the three pages and how do I configure the nine nav- buttons? so that the pages can be accessed back and forth.

        Thank You
        Regards
        Felix

    Hi,

    First open your FTP program and edit your index.html file. Add your new links into the navigation that point to the 2 new pages on the site. I.E. products.html, about-me.html

    Next download the index.html page to your computer and rename it to products.html, then upload it back to your server.

    Then rename the products.html on your computer to about-me.html and upload it to your server.

    Now you will have all of the files you need for your website and all you have to do is change the content on each page.

    Important - Make sure that you name the 2 new files the same as what you added to the navigation in the index.html file in step 1.

    Let me know if this helps, thanks.

    You might be able to do it through your actual hosting account, if you don't want to go the FTP route. If there's any sort of a file manager there, it should be pretty simple (provided you've already uploaded the file in question with - yes - an FTP client :p).
