AIUI index.html is just a conventional name for the landing page
when you demand a domainname or directory without any filename.
As for indexes, well, that takes work, so who's going to do it?
People make a living as freelance indexers.
OTOH, logically, TOCs write themselves as part of the process of
designing a document, and physically, they should be easy to generate
from chapter/section headings, while it is processed for publication.

I don't see any defining difference between the two terms (beyond
obviously not using the former where there are more than two
installations).
