Web Hosting, .html files?, please help ! Options

[nikx618]

okay, so i made a file on notepad, and saved it as a .html file.
right?
inside the .html file, is it just content? or is it the whole website template too?
like, do i copy the template EVERY time, i make a .html file, with different content?

&after i loaded the .html file to cPanel on 000webhost.com
i tried to make a link like this
<p><a class="menu" href="root/layoutspage.html" target="_self">layouts</a><br />
&it does not work, it shows

***Error 404 - The Webpage cannot be found

Most likely causes:

* You clicked a link that can be outdated
* You are trying to access file that does not exists on server
* Domain you are trying to access is not configured on this server (website was removed or is not setup or DNS has not propagated yet).***


i mean, wtf is with that. i loaded the .html file to the root directory, and it says it cannot be found.

anyone please help?
i'm going crazy. xP
