URL best practices

[JohnHuynh]

Hi,

I have a problem here, I used http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/faqs.html instead of http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/faqs. Hence, http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/faqs will be caused 404 page.

My question is should I change from faqs.html to faqs (no .html)?

Thanks in advance any advice?

I would be nice if you will have a friendly URLs.

You can use a rewrite rule to remove extensions. Try this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9489315/htaccess-rewrite-rule-to-remove-extensions

I would suggest using URLs without file extensions.  It's cleaner, and easier for users to remember.

Because http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/faqs is essentially http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/faqs/index.html (if you don't use Apache to manipulate URLs), you'll need to have a redirect set up to avoid losing any visitor flow and incoming link juice.  If you run an Apache web server, you'll want to do this in .htaccess.
