What should my homepage be called?

Your homepage must be named one of the specified files, e.g. default.aspx or index.html; the priority follows the given order.

On an ASP server your start file (the file that is read when a user visits http://www.ditdomæne.dk) must be named one of the following:

  1. default.aspx
  2. index.aspx
  3. default.cshtml
  4. default.asp
  5. index.asp
  6. index.shtml
  7. default.wml
  8. index.wml
  9. default.html
  10. default.shtml
  11. default.htm
  12. index.htm
  13. index.html

The files are read in the order listed above, so the first-mentioned has higher priority than the others.
