Can you point the domain to a folder with an index.html file, then have that index point to a folder with the wordpress stuff in it?
My wordpress blog is in a sub folder of my domain, and I just do a frame redirect to it...- I would def be interested in the correct answer.. cas I am still learning WPnicnichols

I would email the hosting company and find out their protocol, the next best thing to do would be an htaccess file to determine that html comes first.

Sherman,
When I do that it shows index.php in some browsers.
I'm not sure how all of that works with .html overriding .php

servers look at html files before php
- you can set the order at the server level. or the server admins canbulletfactory
- server admins are nice generally especially if they have live chat.sherman

You can have an index.html in the root that links to index.php

I'm using wordpress as a CMS on a site I'm building.
The site is installed to the root directory and the client insists that it stay there.
The client also insists that there be a 'landing' or 'splash' page.
From what I've seen (googled, asked programmers) it's pretty impossible to have a real splash page on a wordpress site.
I wanted to try asking here and a few more places before I gave up.
Here is the site http://www.johnsonranch-tx.com/
What the end result needs to be is when a user comes to that url (no internal pages), for the first 3 times, it shows the splash page. The splash page rests for 5 seconds and then forwards on to the home page of the blog. Now if anyone clicks a link within the site to go 'home' it can't show the splash page. You know, basic splash page functionality.
There may be a way to do this with .htaccess or modifying the inner workings of php.
Anyone have anything?
