        Hi Chandana,

        This article explains it all: http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/242/How+do+I+redirect+my+site+using+a+.htaccess+file%3F. It shows how to create and name the file and what code to use.

        You would want to do this:

        Redirect /index.html http://example.com/

        I would also recommend redirecting non-www to www (or vice versa) if you haven't done so already - http://dense13.com/blog/2008/02/27/redirecting-non-www-to-www-with-htaccess/.

        If you get stuck there's also a free htaccess generator located here: http://www.htaccessredirect.net/index.php

        Let me know if you have any problems!

        • We added hundreds of pages to our website & restructured the layout to include 3 additional locations within the sub-pages, same brand/domain name. How long could Google take to crawl/index the new pages and rank the keywords used within those pages?
