Make sure that:

Your index file is named index.html, or index.htm (for HTML file), or index.php (for php file), or index.asp (for asp file).

Your index file is located in the root of the web directory.

Check for a file named ‘.htaccess’ present in your root directory. This file might rewrite URL’s. If it is present, post the content here so we can check it.

When you upload your index page in your main folder or any directory folder, that page should open by default. If not, you should ask your hosting provider about it.

Keep in mind that your index page must be named "index", regardless of the type (index.html, index.htm, index.php, etc.)
