Does '.html' HAVE to be a part of the URL?

Question

I want to create a new page to an existing site which will
become its own section and want to be able to send/advertise that
URL (which will have no ref to the main site & no link to it)
eg. www.mainsite.co.uk - I want to advertise:
www.mainsite.co.uk/subsite
So.... I created a page called subsite (for this eg) but I
have to add on '.html' to access it. I don't want that, I want it
as a clean, easy URL - the .html will make it too long and fussy.
How do I do this?
Thx 4 any help.

Answer 1

Assuming that "index.html" is the proper default filename,
which only your
host can tell you.
