If you have access to the .htaccess file.

Your first line of htaccess should be:
DirectoryIndex home.php index.php index.html index.htm


Additionally, in htaccess, you need some kind of rewrite so that sportsglasses123.com and www.sportsglasses123.com are identical, with a 301... AND while you're at it, force the admin to https. Something like this:


########################
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /home\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)home\.php$ / [R=301,L]
#####################

Note, you do not need to input the first two lines if they are already in the .htaccess file. Hope this helps.
