When you ordered your Freedom server, you selected a domain name for it. As a result, a home directory for your initial Web site was created in the /www/vhosts directory. If the domain name for your Freedom server were “acme.com” for example, you would have a /www/vhosts/acme.com/htdocs directory, and this is where you should place the Web pages and other content for this Web site. As described above, /www/htdocs is a shortcut to this directory that you can use for convenience.
By default, Apache recognizes the file called index.html as the directory index. The directory index is the page that comes up by default when someone accesses a directory within your document root. In the example of a site called www.acme.com, the file that would be displayed when a visitor typed http://www.acme.com into their Web browser would be /www/vhosts/www.acme.com/htdocs/index.html.
