Index.HTML… Can It Be Custom With WordPress?

I want to add a custom index.html file to my main directory of my website.

So i can have a custom sales page as my home page.

I want to still use WordPress as a blog with subpages and every thing but, I noticed that in the main directory of my website there is a index.php file.

When I drop the index.html file inside this directory it works as I want it too but, I have concerns regarding the stability.

Will I run into any problems doing this?

Also another concern of my is that I am tryn to use a visitor tracking plugin such as “count per day” to keep track of my home page views.

Would a plugin like that still work properly?

P.S. I do not want to have to install WordPress to a subdomain on my website. I want to do this right on top of the WordPress install I already have which is directly ontop of the domain name (no subdomains)
