Like the other posters said, there is no rule.

Apache comes configured "out-of-the-box" with index.html as the default
page. Use the "DirectoryIndex" directive to change this.

(example):
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

IIS comes with "default.htm" or possibly "default.asp" as the default
page. A buncha clicking ann typing will let you change that.

Also, both webservers (and most other webservers) will let you change this
on a per-directory basis. With Apache you cna use the
<Directory></Directory> directive or a .htaccess file in the directory in
question; IIS must be done from within the main IIS management tool (I'm
pretty sure).

later...
