A home page (homepage, index page, front page or main page) is the initial or main web page of a website.
A home page commonly (but not necessarily) uses a default file name.
Default web server files
The term "index page" is not limited to home pages.
Web servers support default file names, which the server references when a request does not include a file name.
Typical default files names include:
- index.html
- index.php
It is common for all subfolders within a website to include a web page file by the same default file name.
The server checks the list from top to bottom, using the first file name which it finds. A server administrator can edit the list.
