HI. I too use Demon and have the situation that you expect and observe with Tangent Research. The situation is that they register two different hosts: * mydomain.demon.co.uk * www.mydomain.demon.co.uk The latter is on their web servers and the former is your ADSL end point. The reason you are not seeing an repalced index file may be because you are using Apache 2. If this is the case, then you want to replace the index file in /var/www/apache2-default or set up you own default instead. Hope this helps, TreeBoy As an aside: I've just got back from NI today!
