I’ve used both index.html and default.html in the past for home pages on sites I’ve built. These days I mostly use index.html, but I’m not sure why… consistency I suppose.

I’m pretty sure IIS handle them the same, but I am wondering, though, if there’s any benefit or pitfall in using one over the other, or are they treated the same in all respects?

    index is traditional, and more servers are configured to look for it than for default.
