very, very confused!

Hi,
My site is currently on a Unix server. My main index page has an SSI call, so my page has been renamed to index.shtml, from index.html. I heard that you can have the page STILL be index.html, instead of index.shtml even if your calling an SSI.

I emailed my hosting tech support to ask them about this and they told me the following:

"To make .html files be handled as server-parsed files, add the following to your .htaccess file:


AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

Windows may not allow you to create a file called .htaccess, in that case, simply upload a file called htaccess.txt, and rename it to .htaccess . That file should also go in your public_html directory."


To be honest with you, I don't even know how to go about doing this, what can I do? Would someone please clear this up for me and explain exactly what I need to do?

Thanks!
