How to make a webpage without .html in your URL

Question

Like the title says I want to visit my webpage without typing .html after the webadres. So for example I have to type this at the moment: www.webadres.com/webpage.html Now I want to change that into www.webadres.com/webpage

I've already tried some things like deleting the .html extension on the end of my file but that (of course) doesn't work.

I see I missed something: I don't really understand it but I got a folder (called "cgi-bin") with a .htacces file. In the .htacces file is the following text:

Options -Indexes +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

I want a webpage like this

www.example.com/webpage

Instead of

www.example.com/webpage.html

I didn't know about all the server side technologies but now it seems I have Apache.

This is usually a server side feature. What kind of web server technology are you using? ASP.NET / PHP? — Patrick Hofman, Nov 21 '14 at 16:16

@DavidePastore: Depends on the server side technology used. So too early to say. — Patrick Hofman, Nov 21 '14 at 16:18

create a htaccess file which has the name of .htaccess, then place the following code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^yourPage$ yourPage.html [NC,L]

I have never used this in ASP.NET. – Patrick Hofman Nov 21 '14 at 16:26

Not if they don't use Apache. – patricksweeney Nov 21 '14 at 16:26
You can't solve this without apache – Tamás Nov 21 '14 at 16:28

You can. ASP.NET any many other technologies have similar solutions. – Patrick Hofman Nov 21 '14 at 16:29

You realize there are many different web servers out there right? – patricksweeney Nov 21 '14 at 16:29
Then comment it to another answer... I've used this, this's an easy way, it works me fine, and servers usually have apache – Tamás Nov 21 '14 at 16:33
No, this question is much too broad and unanswerable. We shouldn't answer at all. – Patrick Hofman Nov 21 '14 at 16:35
