Problem with domain.
My domain http://www.nexusguild.co.uk seems to point to a blank page for some and the right page for others. To view the homepage i have to type index.php after it, some others don't as it shows with just the domain. I've recently redirected it to another folder from my host control panel and the old one worked fine. Any ideas?
I've cleared cache and tried it in both IE and Firefox.

Yeah the index, redirects auto to news.php as thats set to be the initial page. In my host (1and1), i'm directing it to /nexus as the home folder. I only have the options to point my domains at any folder within my webspace, and not a file. Confusing as before , i had it pointing to a folder which worked fine. It's just this one domain that is doing it.

It may have something to do with the order your host has set up your index pages. Sometimes the host only includes index.htm and index.html so if you attempt to load your page using http://www.yourpage.com/ and it doesn't find an index.htm or index.html it doesn't load. It will load if you tell it to go to http://www.yourpage.com/index.php but not if you leave off the index.php part.
Most hosts have a setting that you can congifure that will allow you to add page names and what not to the list of approved index names (that is how some people can load default.asp or home.php). Ask you host how to change your index page order and acceptable pages and it should fix your issue.
