Ask your hosting company what the default start page names are.
You can try naming it to index.htm, default.htm, those are common
ones. Try .html extensions also if the htm ones do not work.

when you say typed the URL do you mean http://www.yourdomain.com or http://www.yourdomain.com/home.html
if the second one then all you ned to do is set home.html as a folder
index, this will then allow you to got to the first URL i wrote , which
actually is showing the 2nd URL

right you need to set home.htm as one of the directory index as they are sometimes called or default files.
as gullanian said those are the default above, you need to add home.htm to the list,
you maybe able to do this yourself, or have to get your host to do so.

Sorry ive only just had chance to reply. When i try to call my page default.htm a warning screen comes up and says the "Lock on the file" has been deleted by a user.  So what is it i would need to ask my webwiz host for?

im not sure what that error means.
i would ask your host to allow you to set home.htm as a default page like default and index .asp,.htm,.html etc.
is this a free host, who is your host?
