It also might be worth adding Options -Indexes so that it doesn't show up the directory listing

Upload a file called .htaccess in the root directory with that line DirectoryIndex index.html. Note that: AllowOverride must be set to yes in the apache configuration file. If it is not, then you will have to ask the client to do one of the following 1) Put the DirectoryIndex line in the apache config and restart apache himself. 2) Atleast set AllowOverride appropriately. But first, try uploading the .htaccess file to see if it works for you
