URL Domain for Landing Page

Hi, i have question which one should i use if from ahrefs best by links is "banana.com/eats/"

Should i create at public_html > folder "eats" > "index.html"

or

at public_html > eats.html (and then using .htaccess to hide .html)?


is this 2 method give the same value or different? and which one is better?

Thank you.

The first option is the one to go for. Just create a directory called 'eats', upload an index.html file and make sure DirectoryIndex is set to index.html in your .htaccess. You can also use index.php etc if you want to use scripting etc

The first option lets you extend the subfolder with even more pages. The second option is good for a simple page. However, make sure that you won't flood your public_html folder with files or folders in future.

Both are fine SEO-wise, but use the folder/index.html method , it's cleaner and more standard.
