Just wondering if this is an option with BV

[dloopdude]

I've noticed allot of websites will be like this www.example.com/about/us

where with BV I have to add php or html so it would be www.example.com/about/us.html

I'd like to remove the html or php if possible.

Also instead of having www.example.com/about/us why can't I go www.example.com/about_us

using an _ underscore rather than /

Thanks!

Well first off it is common to have this type of address www.example.com/aboutus.html OR /about_us.html. When you have an address like this: www.example.com/about/us.html it means you have published a page called (us) into a folder called (about). It's really not necessary in most cases and gets pretty messy trying to keep everything organized!

At an early stage of web building experience; I believe it is important to get into the habit of naming things using all small letters and certainly no spaces or underlines!

That will go a long way towards eliminating errors!

As for the .html or .php thing; it's really not a big thing to add those to the end of the page address,(IMO). How often do you type in a page address, anyway?

I did a little experiment to get rid of the .html and it worked, but might have some unforeseen consequences; so I better not go into that here!!

You can have folders inside your public_html directory. Each folder could have it's own (page) name. Inside that folder you can have an index page. Yes, one for every folder (i.e. about, contact, products, et. al.)
The link would then be www.yoursite.com/about or contact, etc.
It can be confusing to have several index pages for a site.
