How to get rid of the "index of/" page?

Do you use "park the domain" or just create a new account on a new hosting?
When I enter my domain for the first time, which is yet under construction, a "index of/" page with all the files shows up.
What can I do to get rid of the "index of/" page??
Thanks in advance.

Just create a blank index.html. Your domain will just display a blank page instead of a directory listing.
Other solutions can fix this, but this is a simple quick fix.

It is called directory listing, you can disable it from panel i.e following:

To disable directory listing / browsing from cPanel, follow these steps:

1) Login to your cPanel
2) Click on File Manager
3) Open "public_html" folder and create a .htaccess [You can also create it inside to any other directory.]
4) Include any of the following as per the requirements:

Options -Indexes [To prevent all the directory and files.]
IndexIgnore * [The '*' represents a wildcard, this means it will not display any files.]
IndexIgnore *.zip [To prevent all files that end with '.zip' extension.]
IndexIgnore *.zip *.jpg *.gif [To prevent all files that end with '.zip', '.jpg], '.gif' extension.]

Contact your hosting provider and ask him to disable directory index server wide. With directory index enable its very easy to see all your files and download them with single click.

You didn't specify if this is website/account wide or not. Easiest way is to to set your .htaccess to contain the following:

Combo this with a 404 page line in there:

Thanks you guys, I could get rid of the "index of/" page by adding a index.html file into public_html as LJSHost suggested. It's that simplest way that I can apply on my hosting.

The Index Manager allows you to customize the way a directory will be viewed on the web. You can select between a default style, no indexes, or two types of indexing. If you do not wish for people to be able to see the files in your directory, choose No Indexing”.

Open cPanel/Indexes and check public_html , and select No Indexing
