    Hi, We have a website hosted on godaddy. They have provided us the control panel login. Our project has a home page called "Home.aspx". By default , when the website opens up, it looks for a default.aspx page. So we wrote a simple javascript to transfer the page to home.aspx from a default.aspx page. Unfortunately, since this is a product based website, google refused to index the website because it "doesn`t like redirects". So the only option left is we change the home.aspx to default.aspx, but it would call for a huge change in the already built up project. The other option, we thought, would be asking godaddy to change the default document in their IIS. We called in the support, but "Its not possible" is the only answer we received. If anyone here uses godaddy, where do we find the option for changing the default document in the control panel???? Any other solution is welcomed.

    When you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.

      That really is pants. GoDaddy should be able to change that in seconds. Guess it leaves you with 3 options: 1) rename the Home.aspx to default and fix all links. 2) Just duplicate the home page and rename it to "default" (have two home pages) 3) Switch web host
