I am looking for a way to set a html file in my public_html directory as the startpage before Drupal is loaded.
Is this possible and how to do?

Hi Peter,

There are 2 ways of doing that.

1/ install Drupal in a subdirectory and simply point your HTML to index.php in that subdirectory

or

2/ install Drupal in your public_html directory, install the the front page.module and paste the entire HTML into the text area settings for anonymous users and select FULL as the type of front page you want.

The advantage of using Drupal to deliver your front page is that you can specify different front pages for different types of users and/or more advanced functions.

I wanted to do something substantially similar using method #2, so that later I could deliver different content to different users. However, all I get is a blank page when I use "FULL" and paste in a full HTML.
