  index.html. For security/utility/convenience reasons though,
  <STRONG>many</STRONG> sites are configured to look for <STRONG>one</STRONG>
  specific file name as the "primary" file in a Web directory. This is the file
  that the server displays first when someone links to your URL.  If it requires
  a specific file name, this is usually either index.htm OR index.html (but not
  both).</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hwg.org/resources/faqs/shtmlFYIFAQ.html"><STRONG><A name="shtml">.shtml extensions.</A></STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hwg.org/resources/faqs/shtmlFYIFAQ.html"><P>
        If an html document contains "Server Side Includes" that means that it includes
        special commands for the Server to process.  This is normally how things like
        counters are done on basic web pages.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hwg.org/resources/faqs/shtmlFYIFAQ.html"><P>
        On some websites, the webmaster sets up the server to <EM>parse</EM>, or read
        through every .html or .htm file to see if it contains server instructions.
        However, this WILL slow things down when people link to the pages.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hwg.org/resources/faqs/shtmlFYIFAQ.html">Webmasters who are concerned about server performance commonly use the
       .shtml extension for an .html file that must be parsed.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/25C6BDB1-1351-4060-94C2-D82AD982ECB0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
