If you see an "Under Construction" page when you visit your domain or web address, you have not yet replaced the placeholder web page — or home page — we created for you when you signed up for your site. This file — named "index.htm" or "index.html," depending on your plan — can be replaced with a page you create using one of our site building tools, such as PageBuilder.

Important: By default, the page you'll see when you visit your web address is "index.htm" or "index.html." In order to see your web site at your domain, your site must include a file with one of these names. (Either of these names will work; and if you create both files, index.html will take precedence.) Files called "home.html" or "default.html," for example, will not appear by default at your domain.

If your site does not include a file called index.htm or index.html (either your placeholder "Under Construction" page or a home page you created yourself), your site visitors will encounter an error when they visit your web address.

If you've already created a home page but are not seeing this page at your web address, you may need to rename your home page file: For example, if you named your home page "home.html," you should change its name to index.html. You can rename your page using File Manager:

1. Open your File Manager by clicking the "File Manager" link on the Create & Update or Manage tab of your GeoCities Control Panel.
2. Check the box next to the file you want to rename.
3. Click the "Rename" button.
4. Enter the new name for your file ("index.html").
5. Click the "Rename" button to save your change.

If File Manager will not let you rename the page you selected, you may need to delete the default index file first.

Remember that file names are case sensitive. Your home page needs to be named "index.htm" or "index.html"; "Index.html" or "INDEX.html," for example, will not be displayed when you visit your web address.
