Here is the thing, I started my site 2 years ago. Recently I redesigned the entire site and renamed all the original pages from .shtml to .html pages. The original designer was a mess to say the least.
I put 301 redirects in all the old pages to follow to the new ones. Problem is the index also used to be SHTML, so when you type in www.mydomain.com it goes to the .shtml version of the page which then forwards it to the index.html page
Should I leave the index as .shtml and the rest of the pages as .html or is there a way to make it go to the .html version when someone types in www.mydomain.com?
I just don't want to do something wrong, I have worked very hard on this site.
Thank you!
I doubt index.shtml is the standard default anyway.
You should be able cofigure your webserver to use any file or file extension as the default index page, so avoiding the need to redirect.
