1. Re: Index.html configured to omit in URL
John Waller May 15, 2013 7:42 PM (in response to Jack)Create a folder e.g. "product"
Save a file named index.html (or index.php if on a PHP server) into the folder named "product".
When the visitor points their browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/product, the server will deliver to their browser the default file from the folder named "product", which is usually named index.html (or index.php or default.html etc).
http://www.yourdomain.com/product = http://www.yourdomain.com/product/index.html

2. Re: Index.html configured to omit in URL
Jack May 16, 2013 5:02 AM (in response to John Waller)Thanks, did not know that was possible.
Also need to send the URL in plain language (not a link) on postal mailings. I know there is some way to do that. Have done it before but (sigh) cannot remember how/where. Web search so far has turned up references to hidden files *.htaccess. Still pursuing.
Meanwhile, hit upon the subdomain concept, which will likely make this issue go away. Will see...

What do you mean by "plain language"?

polar_bare May 16, 2013 7:29 AM (in response to Jon Fritz II)On printed mailings you would just put yourdomain.com/product/ if you didn't need the preceeding www.
That is how I do it if this is what you getting at.
Jim
PS-Ideally you could set up the products folder as a subdomain and then your URL would be: http://product.yourdomain.com
