Hey Oliver, yeah I am using the html open and closing tag on the site. I have worked it out, it was down to a miss spelling! Thanks for your quick response

Is your file named index.html? Are you uploading it to the www folder? How long ago did you buy the space? I think these would be the only things that might make it go to the directory instead of your index.html file.
