It seems that the issue might be with the exact URL of the requested page. The Redirect 301 /index.html https://www.hostrooster.com/ directive only triggers if the URL of the requested page is exactly /index.html.
If you want to redirect both /index and /index.html to https://www.hostrooster.com/, you can use the following code in your .htaccess file:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/index(\.html)?$ https://www.hostrooster.com/
This directive uses a regular expression to match both /index and /index.html in the requested URL and redirects them to https://www.hostrooster.com/
If the redirect for https://hostrooster.com/index and https://hostrooster.com/ are working but not for https://hostrooster.com/index.html, it’s likely because the redirect rule is not matching the exact URL pattern /index.html. To handle this, you can add an additional Redirect directive for /index.html specifically:
Redirect 301 /index.html https://www.hostrooster.com/
Redirect 301 /index https://www.hostrooster.com/
With these two separate rules, both /index and /index.html will be redirected to https://www.hostrooster.com/.
