Ok, i want to give out my website for buisness use, but i dont want them to have to type .html on every time they want to go to my page, is it possible to just redirect them to the page, like these for example.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] >>>> [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] >>>> [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] >>> [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

if you know what i mean?

thanks

make a .htaccess file in the root directory of your website and add the following lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]


You're better of having the homepage be called index.html, it's more traditional. However, if you prefer home.html you would need to add:

RewriteRule ^$ /home.html [L]


URL rewriting is better than redirecting the user. This way the nice url stays in the browse.

When you visit a URL, let's say [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] the /assets is a folder within your httpdocs or htdocs. You have your website within this folder, say you had a folder inside of httpdocs and you wanted it to be called assets, you'd set an index.html

The web server automatically picks up the default URL index.html and redirects your browser. This also helps protect the folders occupants. I'd try the above method, it seems more sophisticated but it's 100% guaranteed to work.
