    I've just uploaded my website and sorted out my domain name.
    When I type in the domain address it goes to a login page for my host, but I want the default.aspx page to appear.

    How do I go about this?

    Delete/replace the index.html page with your new index page

    Will the fact that it's a .aspx file not be a problem?

    No, if it's called Default.aspx, then as long as there isn't an index.html page in the same folder, your Default.aspx will load automatically...

    It could if its not a windows server as oppose to a Linux one. Also the index file could be called index.htm or index.html delete/replace both/either

    Thanks for the help guys.

    I made sure it was a Windows server before I signed up.
    I deleted the index.html page, but it still doesn't work.

    This is the error I get: "Directory Listing Denied
    This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed."

    Look for a setting in your control panel called "directory indexes" or something like that.

    Nice one, that solved it.
    I actually had a similar problem last year, although I managed to forget how to solve it :)

    Go into your web domain settings and check that you have the necessary web extensions turned on, for aspx it should be asp.net version 1 or version 2. I had this problem originally, you need to have the asp.net framework running to load an aspx page...
