Default Change Indexfile For Domain

is it possible to have my server load home.php rather than index.php when people enter the domain name in the address bar?

Yes, you can do this via the web server's config file. For Apache, this file is called "httpd.conf".

You will only have access to this file if you control the server. It is usually located in /etc/httpd/conf.

and a folder with a file named info.

Might only work if you have root access to the server.

In some control panels the httpd.conf is also included and can be editted from your browser.

Just create a .htaccess file in your root folder and put this line inside it:

Code:
DirectoryIndex home.php
