When I visit my website I get a listing of the files and not my website, Why?

The first page of your website that you want your visitors to see must be called either: index.html or index.php (depending on how to created the page). That Index file must be placed in the Public_html folder and not in a sub-folder within Public_html or outside it. Without an Index file in the webspace, the site will reflect a directory listing of files.
