Bluehost : Another newbie simple question!!!!

This is a bluehost question posted by kBabs on 12 July 2007

I have just got my account up and running and am looking forward to finally getting myself online!

Perhaps the most basic question of all to begin with though:

When I go to my domain my index.html file does not work, and I see the bluehost placeholder instead.
If I put my index into a directory the index file works though!

Why does the bluehost placeholder over-ride my index.html?
do I need to use another directory inside /public_html and then redirect to it so that my domain is www.blah.com (instead of www.blah.com/blah)?
