It's kind of annoying seeing the HostMonster logo on all of the pages that you don't have a tag in the head section of your page for the favicon. Help please.

put a favicon.ico file in your public_html directory. I believe that unless its overridden by the setting in the HEAD section, most browsers will look for http://example.com/favicon.ico to see if there is a favicon to display...

After installing your own favicon.ico file, you may need to clear your browser's cache (ctrl+shift+del on Firefox2) before you will see your new icon.

I'm bringing this post back as I do have a additional question.

I uploaded my favicon into my public_html, override the existing one. But when I click on the link I see only a red X. is this due to the file extension
.ico ??

Then, does this replace the favicon on ALL pages, including subdomains, addon domains etc. ?

Then I have this code to add into my page
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >
between the <head></head> tags.

Do I need to do this at each single page ? It would be awesome if there was a simple way to replace just once the favicon.ico at the public_html and all pages that opens would have my custom favicon immediately.

try to open this url to see if there is a little colored ball as favicon

it should be there as I uploaded it and put the code in the page

Many thanks for additional help here
