I used FrontPage to upload my home page. Why can't I see it at my domain?

By default, our servers will load the page named "index.htm" or "index.html" from your root directory, or root web, when a visitor goes to your domain (http://www.widgetdesigns.com). If you've created web pages and uploaded them with FrontPage but didn't specifically name your main page "index.htm" or "index.html," the home page you've uploaded won't be displayed when you go to your domain.

To make sure your domain displays the home page you created, be sure to name your home page either "index.htm" or "index.html" before publishing to your site with FrontPage.

When Yahoo! sets up your account, we add a default "index.html" file to your directory automatically, so visitors to your domain will see it as occupied. If your directory includes both an "index.htm" and "index.html" file, our servers will display the "index.html" file by default. However, if our servers do not find an "index.html" file, they will display the "index.htm" file.

For detailed FrontPage support and troubleshooting, please contact Microsoft directly, as issues you encounter may be related to known bugs in the software. For further assistance, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
