That is because you uploaded the files of your website to a subdirectory within the public_html directory, so the folder structure looks like this:

--public_html
---subdirectory (whatever name you gave it)
----files of your website (index.html or whatever and all the other files)

To show the contents of your page when you open your URL you need to move the files from the subdirectory to the public_html directory, so the folder structure then looks like this

--public_html
---files of your website (index.html or whatever and all the other files)

Guys please help i've rename my start.html into index.html , but it still say "index of /" whyy???

[Firebirds]

is index.html all lowercase?
also, did you move your files into the public_html directory?

I understand your problem.

1. LOGIN to your site's File Manager

2. EDIT the .htaccess file

3. Add this code any where in your .htaccess file

DirectoryIndex index.php second-choice.php third-choice.html

This code make the browers know use what is default file to read if the server not point it.
Advaced, you can use any file name and file type to make it your default page (descending order of priority):

DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.php index.htm default.html Default.htm default.html Default.html default.shtml Default.shtml page1.html index.pl index.cgi index.php3 index.phtml home.htm home.html home.shtml index.wml hell.php egg.php 000.php
