- 1). Navigate to the level of your server you wish to edit and create a new folder with a name of your choice; for example, "Mysite."
- 2). Create a new HTML document in your web editing program and customize it with any HTML tags and code.
- 3). Save the HTML file as "index.html" and place it into the root level of your server.
- 4). Move the "index.html" file into the "mysite" folder that you created in Step 1.
- 5). Navigate to your website in a browser and then add "/mysite" to the end of the web address. The "index.html" file is now acting as the root file, but it is being displayed through the "mysite" folder.
