I thought that I had to replace my index file to view my site, so I deleted it. After I uploaded my site, it worked for a bit, Now I get a 404 error and it says my site doesnt exist. Can you help? Do i need to have my index file?
Edit:
Sorry, I posted on the wrong forum account. I wrote theis post. This is my accoutn user name

Could you explain the problem more clearly? Do you mean you don't have any index page in you public_html folder?

Then rename you home page to index.php or index.html and that should fix your problem
index.php for dynamic pages
index.html for static pages

Its in my public folder. There is 2. One is Bermuda-Crusises.htm and one is Auto-Glass.htm. My previous index file that now wont work is "http://BermudaCruises.X10Hosting.com"
Edit:
How do I create an index file? Can you do that for me? I have 2 sites that I put in my public folder. One is Bermuda-Cruises.htm, and the other is Auto-Glass.htm. My main page that wont load is http://BermudaCruises.X10Hosting.com.

OK, create a new index page. And link it to the two pages. It'll work. Provide your website link please.

if this helps in your index page put this code in
HTML: 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"> window.location = 'home_page.htm';</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="home_page.htm">Click here if you are not redirected.</a>
</body>
</html>
replace home_page.htm with your page
