Just wondering in which directory I put the files for my web site to display the index page. I mean if i type my domain's url i should be able to see the home page.

In cpanel it would be /public_html/

one of them:

public_html
www
httpdoc

htdocs, i think.

Well, it depends on your control panel

For Plesk is probably /httpdocs

For cPanel probably: /public_html


Now: www vs. public_html
cPanel, has /www as well because it happens that FrontPage users are used to /www and other users are familar to /public_html, anyway it seems like they don't use double diskspaces as far as I know, they just point to the same place.

Regards.

thanks. but my Cpanel doesn't have /www .do I have to create it ?

No, you don't have to.
/public_html will work fine.
You might come across /www if you enable FrontPage Extensions. But as I said before: they point to the same place.

YOu need tp place them into the domain root folder.. According to the control panel and server these are the various types

public_html,www, wwwroot,httpdocs, hshome/username/domainname/

If it is not useful let us know the details of it..,
