You need to create the Web first (usually on your local machine)...then create other pages WITHIN the FP Web. FP needs to create other files to support the webpages that's why you need to create the Web first (yes it will be empty of any of YOUR content).

You 'typically' will be Publishing to http://yourweb.com/ (do not include the index page after the slash. Sometimes it will be http://www.yourweb.com/ .

FP will 'adjust' the index page to html OR htm depending on what your server requires...you can delete the extra one later OR find out from your host which extension you should use for the index page.
