I have been searching for this online for a while, but I haven't been able to find anything. I think its mainly due to not figuring out how to properly word my question.

See, the address for my website is

http://www.thegow.net/animelaf

now when you type that, by default it will go to the page called index.php because of course it always goes to the file titled index.

This is a forum i run and index.php takes you to the form index.
But I created a portal page for my forum called portal.php

is there a way to change it so that when ever you type the address above it will default to portal.php instead of index.php?

I wanna know cause I have the url www.lafayetteanime.com and in order to make it go to the portal page I have to forward it to www.thegow.net/animelaf/portal.php The problem with that is if I cant just leave it at “animelaf/” then I cant mask the url cause if I do then every time someone wants to refresh the page it will take them back to the portal and not just refresh the current page, and I would very much like to mask the long url with the lafayetteanime.com one.

I apologize if this has been asked before, i searched the forum but didn't find anything, but like I said im not quite sure how to word the question for a search.
