Thanks for the reply and info, Alex.
I am new to websites and the docs are not too good yet.
This helps a lot.

Generally, you should keep files that you want on your default
domain (i.e. for me that's www.alextweedly.on-rev.com ) within your
public_html directory. That directory, and any sub-folders of it,
will either be
- a folder where you keep html and similar files
and you should usually have a file called index.html (or
index.irev, or index.php, ...)
and any time someone accesses http://www.alextweedly.on-
rev.com/ they see the index file's contents - so they
can't get to your other files (except through links, or
by knowing their names)
- a folder you don't expect people to access directly
either put in an index.html (...) to prevent access, or
you can use the .htaccess file to directly prevent it.
(see e.g. http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/
htaccess11.shtml for how to use this).
(Personally, I would always just create an index.irev (or
index.html) in every directory :-)
