Why do I keep seeing Freeserves default page?

There are a couple of things that can happen here a) when you enter a URL, e.g. http://www..freeserve.co.uk, the server will send the browser the “default page”. With Freeserve, this is “index.html”, if this is not found, it will look for and send “index.htm” – also see note below. In this case you may have uploaded your page as “index.htm” and, as Freeserve already have their default page there (index.html) from when you first joined, this is sent to the browser. If this is the this case you need to either delete the “index.html” and/or rename your “index.htm” to “index.html”. Note that it seems that only the original freeserve.co.uk domain uploads a default web page. The newer fsbusiness, fslife, fsnet and fsworld.co.uk domains do not. b) you’ve already “visited” your web-site before you uploaded your own index.htm/l page and your browser is viewing this page in the local “cache” as in 3.03, above.
