How come whenever I add a file or html code I cant get it to be on just my domain name?

e.g. I want an intro page when you go to www.mydomain.com but instead you can only view the content by going www.mydomain.com/~~file~~

Ive been trying to figure this out for days...

can anyone help me?

e_h_rochedale south_au's answer appears to be correct.  You will need to create a 'index.html' or 'index.htm' file which will serve as your homepage or your intro page.

When you visit a domain, your web browser automatically searches for a 'index.html' or 'index.htm' page to load.  If it cannot find either of these files, it will return an error.

So, visiting http://www.mydomain.com essentially means that you'll be visiting http://www.mydomain.com/index.html or http://www.mydomain.com/index.htm.

By the way, the 'index.html' file takes priority over 'index.htm' files if both files are in the same directory.

Create your intro page and call it index.html  When you type in your domain name - presto in 99% of cases.
