Hi,

Can you tell me what files I MUST keep in my Public_html (for example, what files were there when I first got my account)

Im having a file clear-out and dont want to delete anything I shouldn't.

Many Thanks
 

You would also keep your custom error documents (/404.shtml, etc.) there, as well as robots.txt and favicon.ico. You will need either an index file (index.html, index.htm, index.php, etc.) there for a visitor to enter your site, or entries in .htaccess to redirect (URL rewrite) visitors to a lower-level directory. Other than a landing page or entry script, it's best practice to keep application-specific code in lower level directories. Especially, if you want to install canned applications (a forum, a store, a gallery, etc.), they should each have their own directory tree. This keeps them fully separated and out of each other's hair.

which files you want to make for public that all files and folders you can place in public_html...
