How to replace Apache2's main page?

Question

How I can change Apache2's main page to a custom page of my own?

Answer 1

Simply remove the file /var/www/html/index.html and replace it with your own /var/www/html/myown.html, and restart apache. Or simply replace the contents of the /var/www/html/index.html with yours.

NOTE:

Your file will also be called index.html not myown.html as I have used it here!
