These last couple of days I've been really upset with CentOS - specifically with Apache - I'm getting to the realization I need to change.  Apache just refused to be able to read my index.html file.  I worked through loads of complaints and suggestions about this issue on Google.  Like there are hundreds of them.  One would have thought CentOS would have learned by now to have a simple solution, but no can do. Its users seem to think it's OK to use .htaccess which I thought is not recommended.  The irony of this trying to get their user "idiots" to go in round circle .htaccess solutions to make it work. So that made me think that CentOS has become too heavy and complicated for me.  We're talking about a very simple and old small html Website (18 MB ).  No bells and whistles.  

So going from VPS from HostUS where it didn't want to work, I tried out @fitkoh's free shared account he has given me on CyberPanel.  You wouldn't believe it, it worked instantly and dead easy to install.  I should ask @fitkoh what OS he has on his VPS. What I did this time that was different from before was to use the CyberPanel index.html file that was already in the root html folder of my domain, and I copied and pasted the content of my index.html into it.  To be honest though, I think about anything will work in @fitkoh's account as his approach is very simple and straight.  CyberPanel is also simple, fast and straight.  No roundabout solutions through .htaccess needed.
