How does the server know that the index is the main page?

For example, I have several . HTML and . PHP files in the public_html folder on my server (Internal), but when opening the path in the browser (open the path http://localhost/Lucascarvalho/public_html), it always opens index.html, instead of opening the tabs (tabs, I mean, list all the files/folders we have inside public_html) so we choose which page we want to open.

Why is that? It’s standard?

It’s usually standard Apache, but you can change it in the file .htaccess

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Yes, it is standard. Depending on your web server, you can set which document is the default in the settings, or in Asp.net for example, set this by the web.config file as well
