<div align=justify>When accessing a directory (rather than a page) on your site, a visitor will typically see the index page for that directory as index page is the one that starts loading automatically when your domain name is typed into a browser. If there is no index page existing, the browser will display the '''''Index of''''' page or a list of the files in that directory. There is a page manager tool included in cPanel. 

Using the Index Manager allows you to define the way a specific directory index will appear to the page visitors. You can also turn off indexing, to prevent a directory’s contents from being visible.

To use the page manager tool, log into your '''cPanel => [[Advanced]] => Index Manager.'''
 
* Select the desired directory from the pop-up window.

* Click the folder icon next to the directory name to navigate the Index Manager

* Click the directory name for which you want to change the indexing style.

* There are 4 options available at cPanel Index manager; select one of the following:

 '''''Default System Setting:''''' This will use the default defined by your 
 web host.

 '''''No Indexing:''''' The contents of the directory are not listed;
 visitors will get the “forbidden” message. 

 '''''Standard Indexing:''''' Contents will appear as the '''''Index of''''' page with 
 the list of filenames.

 '''''Fancy Indexing:''''' A visitor will see the information about the files, 
 such as the size and the time last modified.
