I was trying do the same of making a particular file my default page  instead of directory structure  So in IIS server I had to go to Default Document  add the page that I want to make as default and at the same time  go to the Web config file and update the defaultDocument header with  enabled true   This worked for me  Hopefully it helps

For those who are newbie like me  Open IIS  expand your server name  choose sites  click on your website  On new install  it is Default web site  Click it  On the right side you have Default document option  Double click it  You will see default htm  default asp  index htm etc   to the extreme right click add  Enter the full name of your file including extension  that you want to set it as default  click ok  Open cmd prompt as admin and reset iis  Remove all files from c  inetpub wwwroot folder like iisstart html  index html etc    Note  This will automatically create web config file in your c  inetpub wwwroot folder  I didnt have any web config files in my inetpub or wwwroot folders  This automatically created one for me   Next time when you enter http s    servername  it opens the default page you set

On IIS Manager select your page in the Sites tree  Double click on configuration editor  Select system webServer defaultDocument in the drop-down  Change the  default aspx  to the name of your document

If you want to do something like User enter url  www xxxxxx com views root    amp  default page is displayed then I guess you have to set the default home welcome page attribute in IIS  But if user just enters  www xxxxxx com  and you still want to forward to your url  then you have write a line of code in the default page to forward to your desired url  This default page should be in root directory of your application  so www xxxxx com will load www xxxx com index html which will redirect the user to your desired url
