    You can do this in many ways.

    1) One way is to use an HTML redirect. In other words, make your index.html look like this:

    <!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Your Page Title</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/homepage.html">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

    2) You could also use a server-side script to redirect. For instance, if your server supports PHP, just make a file named “index.php” with this content and delete index.html/index.htm:

    <?php header("Location: /homepage.html"); ?>

    Search engine robots should work fine with this method.

    3) If you are using an Apache webserver, you could also use Apache rewrite rules to redirect index.* to homepage.html in say an .htaccess file. This method works only if your Apache web server allows rewrite rules.

    4) If you are fine with having the index.html page be your true home page, then just rename homepage.html to index.html.
