GoDaddy account help

I have never used GoDaddy before. I am doing some work for a client who is registered there.

I need the domain to point to index2.html instead of the standard index.html

Anyone know how?I looked in the CP and everything...

No, you need to put the line above in your .htaccess file...
Or even easier, rename the index2.html to index.html or index.htm...

the main issue is that it is not possible in this situation to just rename the html files. If it was that easy it would have already been done.

Make a file called .htaccess in the root directory and put the code in it that Dan mentioned earlier.

I think this has nothing to do with the domain thing. This is server side thingy.

Yeah the .htaccess file will be able to do this and for an example you can look at phpnuke site.
