ok, so I got hosted, uploaded my files, and checked it out. it all works fine. But tere is a slight problem with my site. the main file is obviously index.html If I go to my website it shows www.mysite.trap17.com though if I hit the home button I get www.mysite,trap17.com/index.html I know I can change a file name in the file manager but wouldnt that ruin my links? I want to be able to customize the way the page is displayed in the address bar. if anyone know how to do this please let me know. I also have a question about the placement of files. in my code I have a link to an imige that goes something like
I placed this picture in the images folder and my web pages in the place where they go but my imiges only work if I put the in the same place as my picture, is this because I need my code to say or is there a diferent way to do this?

This tells the server to look in a folder named images attached to the folder it is presently in, so if your page is coming from the public_html or www folder (same thing), then you need to have the images stored in public_html/images.
And to tell the server that the Initial Page for your site is something different than index.html, there is a way to do that using the .htaccess file. Maybe use the search feature to find a topic about that ...

What do you mean, customize they way the URL displays? Like www.mysite.co.nr or something or mysite.trap17.com? You need to be more specific. As for the logo or images it would be in the following format:


Thats a same, you can check out W3 Schools for HTML reference here.

!--Change a File Name--!
If you want to do that, you use the FTP Client or login to Cpanel --> File Manage --> WWW or Public_HTML --> Find the file(s) and click on the name. --> after that a menu will appear in the side view and you can click Rename. And you done.

Hopefully that helped, as for the subdomain name, you need to expand on it, and whats your site link, so I can help you out and stuff.
