● When it opens, paste the following code at the top of the page to change your desired index page. In this tutorial, we are changing the index.html to home.html.

#Alternate default index page
DirectoryIndex home.html

● Next, hit the Save & Close button (usually located in the upper right corner) and allow a few seconds for the File Manager to reload.

● Now, visit your website again and reload the page with the new index file. The website should now load very fine. If it still shows the error, allow some minutes and then reload the page again. If it still persists, kindly chat with our Intek Geeks to help resolve the challenges.
