Hi everyone. I’ve decided to go with hostgator as my webhost.:gatorclap: I have a simple question. I’m going to have a small personal website only. My website is html and css only. I’m going to need to upload my index.html file to the public_html folder. Here’s my question.

I was looking at the cpanel demo and noticed theirs a file named: index.php What should I do with the index.php file? Can I move it to another folder? Or should I delete it? Or can the index.html file and index.php file co exist together?

I’m familiar with cpanel as I’ve used it with a free host before. Uploaded all my files with "filezilla" into the public_html directory. The other host didn’t have a index.php file already in the public_html directory. I uploaded my website and it worked good. This index.php file has me stumped though.

Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
