That's what a website immediately directs to if there is no other specified location after the domain/subdomain. Your other main page will have to be called something else like "index.shtml", "index.php", "main.html", or whatever you want.

This is just to keep in mind, - Splash pages are considered the index, and homepages as index2, so for example... My website is penguins.com. I want a splash. When I type in penguins.com, the index comes up, which is the splash. You click on the "enter" link, which takes you to the index2, or homepage. - Don't make splashes too big, and... - It should be plain, but stylish ;)
