I'm completely new to website building and uploading. I started a website for my office. Originally I uploaded an underconstruction page and demo page for my boss (which worked fine). He approved the design so I went in yesterday and replaced the files, now it just shows an index list of the files I have loaded instead of the Index.html page. What did I do wrong?

Site is: DavisOpenHouses.com

name your homepage, index.html(and re upload), it will replace those links with your homepage.

Thanks! No one told me that it was case sensitive. :)

But your welcome! :)

Yes, HostMonster servers are case sensitive. Good luck!

One of the (many) differences between the desktop PC and the Unix/Linux systems is that Unix/Linux are case sensitive while the PC is not. Confusion again if you go to Windows based servers, which are not case sensitive.
