How do I upload webpages to public_html without .html at end?


I want people to be able to go to a normal page, not a page with .html at the end. For example, I have http://www.website.com. I want to upload the page titled "Tips" so people can go to http://www.website.com/tips

But when I upload it using filezilla to public_html folder (I host through hostgator), it renames the file as tips.html so I have to send people to http://www.website.com/tips.html for them to see the page. How do I get rid of the .html at the end?

Make a directory called tips and place a file index.html into it. Generally, that will do the trick. Then, if someone goes to: domain.com/tips they will arrive at the index.html file within the tips folder.

Look into mod_rewrite. It's a much cooler way than lots of folders.
