Home page

[Sgt Superman]

This is a question just for me to get some understanding.
I am creating a website for a club that I will give to the IT guy at my college so I am only designing it and not publishing it. So how does the web know to load my site at a specific url? Do I have to save it some how with it or do I just save my home page as index and the server just knows?

the intact image as your website? you can creat a page with name "index" or "default" and embeded your image into it that server can be load automatically.

The domain name is just a pointer to a particular server, and if the site is uploaded to that server the browser will look for a file named index - just name the home page index.html (or index.htm) (NOT Index, with capital I) and it will be the start page when the site is uploaded.

Thanks once again. So what does it do if there is a capital I?

If there is a capital I, the server won't find a starting page if just the domain name is entered - you would have to type the filename as well.
