You want to implement permanent redirects in .htaccess. To redirect the home page to default.php you need:

redirect permanent index.html example.com/default.php

index.html is the default document on most servers. To redirect the home page, you have to redirect the default document. In that rule, you would need to replace example.com with your own domain name.



Instead of redirecting the home page to default.php, I would recommend making that file your home page. To do so, you have to change the default document with a directive like this:

DirectoryIndex default.php


Then the contents of default.php will be served at the home page and users will never see default.php in the URL.
