How do you hide index.html?

To hide the index.html file from direct access, you can use a .htaccess file in Apache web servers to deny access by adding RewriteEngine On followed by RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [F]. Alternatively, you can rename the file to something else or use server-side scripting (like PHP) to serve your content dynamically without exposing the index.html file directly. Additionally, you can configure your web server to serve a different default file, like home.html, instead of index.html.
