title: uploading site files, index.html or home.html
body: <p>just about to upload my first site and have just been doing some research into how to do this whilst I await my package to be upgraded to include mysql databases.</p>
  
  <p>Quick question - do I need to name my homepage 'index.html'?, and therefore change every 'home.html' link on every page of my site to 'index.html'? I've also heard 'index.htm', what is the difference between html and htm?</p>
  
  <p>From what I have read, this is good practice (well, even better practice would have been to call it that from the start!) but also that you can change the default page in the htaccess file. Is this correct, and if so, is there a downside? </p>
  
  <p>I am not relishing the task of changing every homepage link, but if it is considered a better option, I will.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks </p>
