I uploaded a website to the host and now only get This[^].
There is a Default.aspx, so why doesn't it go straight in to the web page?

Go to the IIS-configuration, find the website, click Properties and go to the Documents tab. Can you verify whether "Default.aspx" is in that list?

Whoa, slow down!
Talk me through that slowly please.
Where and How, to start with!
Where do I go to get the IIS config?

My apologies - You can find the IIS configuration in the "Administrative Tools" section of your Control Panel. It contains a list of startup-documents, probably set to "index.htm" and "default.asp".
Did you install IIS before or after the .NET framework?

I do not have that. All I have in Administrative Tools is "Component Services", "Computer Manager", "Data Sources", "Desktop", Event Viewer", "Local Security Policy" , "Performance" and "Services".
Also, I uploded from a different machine, and the page you see above is what is seen when others connect, so I cannot really go around to every computer on the planet and set their IIS's.

Not only hosting a webserver, but also running ASPX-scripts. That means security-settings for the ASP.NET principal and a lot of configuration. It's that, or hosting your own webserver (not that hard using .NET) - where you could opt to use a differnt port than port 80, to ensure that your server doesn't collide with a webserver of the customer.

Weird, I downloaded IIS but it wants things like convlog.exe in order to configure.

IIS should be on the Windows-CD, where did you download it from? Do you have an new applet in the "Administrative Tools" section of the Configuration Panel?

Looks like IIS is up and running on your system now, but the ASP.NET part hasn't been installed (yet?)
At the time that you installed .NET, IIS wasn't there yet - so the .NET installer didn't have a chance to configure IIS. Perhaps running the .NET Framework setup again fixes this, but I'm not sure.
Perhaps the section "Configuring ASP.NET applications" from MSDN[^] might help. But you're right - you don't want to go through this for every customer

If I enter this: http://www.fosbern.co.uk/Default.aspx[^]
I can see your page but only as markup/code. Have you compiled and created a bin folder on the server into which you have placed the dll?
Is there a valid Web.config file in the root?
Is the site capable of hosting asp.net web sites?
Note that default.aspx is not the same as Default.aspx.

There is a Web.config, no Bin, I am told that ASP.NET is available on this host, and here is an oddity...
When I veiw it on my computer I click the link to enter site and I get a page of the markup code, but a colleague's machine shows the page proper, but without the asp bells and whistles.

OK, looks like HTML then

Whoa there, boy!
Here are some quite random viewing results:
IE6: ok
IE8: ok
FF: x (Version 3.5.3 and 3.6.2)
Chrome: x
Opera: x
Safari: x
in that x denotes that only the code of the page was displayed.
Unless there is an overwhelming need to do it in Asp.Net (because, perhaps, it is data driven or there are some whizzy .net features you want to use) why not just use a static html page with some javascript until you have THOROUGHLY TESTED your VB.net implementation.
Oh, lose the enter site here page. Bit archaic and pointless.

Only tacked that on this morning so that I had an HTML index rather than an ASP Default as a start position then point directly to an URL.
It will be gone by stumps.

It seems oke because IE hides all ASPX-markup and tries to interpret the HTML; the thing is in quircks mode. The page isn't executing, the browsers are downloading the file and trying to display it.
Somehow IIS thinks that it should just serve the file, as opposed to execute it and send the resulting HTML. You could try the repairing the installation using the "aspnet_regiis.exe" tool.

Looks like Default.aspx is up (you still need to upper case the d!).
It's a bit wide! And green.

You cans till use JavaScript to accomplish this without need to use asp.net.
In any case: what the hell are you doing using VB.Net??? C'mon, you're a bright (if a little old) lad: dig out the c# and learn something useful!

Just taken a look at it in Firefox using Firebug, and got these headers back:

This looks like a linux server to me - I doubt if it supports Asp.Net.
