: Home page at /home-page-name instead of / I was wondering if having your home page at http://domain.com/home-page-name instead of just: http://domain.com/ would affect SEO? Not only that,

There are no SEO issues with this. When you think about it there is no standard home page URL. No only do different web servers have different default (index.html, default.html, etc) but it's not uncommon for home pages to be in subdirectories (example.com/site/something/home).

Search engines are not going to have any difficulty recognizing it as your homepage as not only will your redirect be a good clue to them, but the linking pattern within your site will also be a good indicator of which page is your "main" page.
