NO, NO, NO!

splash pages were outlawed in 1998. And any website still using them are banished to the end of the Internet

index.html would be your splash page so you have to replace it.

depends on how much access you have to the server.

index.html is one of the default filenames that is served out when the the URL ([www.] or server.tld is requested. So unless you have the access to change that or change the order you don't have any options.

Add

Code:
DirectoryIndex filename.ext index.htm index.html index.php
where filename.ext is your "splash page"

Bear in mind this WILL affect all subdirectories on the site.

your client or whoever is stubborn because he probably was introduced to the internet when every website had a splash page so he's still stuck thinking its cool
