How I Can Hide Web Page Extension?

Hello..Whenever i try to upload some webpage , it shows its extension , for example http://myDomain.com/news.htm , (or any other ext). But i have seen many many websites where their pages doesnt have the extension....for example https://www.yahoo.com/news/?ref=gs Can you please tell me how i can hide the extension of the page? I am not advance user , so i need you guys help.THanks

Well thats a very easy thing im sure even for you. all you have to do is make a new folder with your ftp client or through the file manager in your cPanel and call it news in the public_html folder. then what you would have to do is upload the thing that you would normaly call news.htm into the news folder except you have to call it index.htmhope this helped you and if you cant do it feel free to pm me or something. -Lucas

Try this website:

It will tell you how to do it with .Htaccess, I think it is a much more efficient way than the other method suggested. 

 Thank you.

was just looking for the exact same thing, thank you iGuest!

I guess you have to create an index file for every folder..

for each and everypage we cannot create a separate folder  and name it as a index.Html.

Thank you - that was the simplest and easiest explanation I found after many many pages of searching for a solution to this.
