Thats because your editing index.htm. Try web forwarding and https://www.mywebsite.co.uk/index.htm will come up when you type https://www.mywebsite.co.uk if thats what you want.

Are there any other index files that it could be using instead? I'm not sure what the order of preference is, but I mean if you had..
index.html
index.htm
index.php

etc, it might be using .html as the index and not the .htm that you are updating. I think "default"(possibly with any ending) counts as an index page as well. Though I'm probably wrong on that one!

Alternatively, have you tried "hard" refreshing, when you hold down control and press F5, rather than just just pressing F5. This forces it to download from the web server again rather than just using your ISP's cache.

Try ctrl f5, f5 doesn't always do a full refresh. ctrl f5 should reload everything to do with the web page. eg images, scripts, and stylesheets
