removing /index from the url on htaccess

My current urls look like this [mysite].com/index

I removed .php's with the following .htaccess code but i can not remove the index from the url.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

How can i remove 'index' from the url?

EDIT

I found why it does not work because of windows hostings does not support htaccess method.

Use

DirectoryIndex index.php

Now apache will treat index.php as directory index and you don't have to type index or index.php in url bar.

Actually, removing the page name for good it's not a good practice.

It may cause errors, and it's not good for SEO.

I strong suggest you to use friendly URL to remove the PHP extension(the way you're doing right now) or put some other name more friendly.

Exemple:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home/?$           /my_new_index.php             [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^new-order/?$      /new_order_from_client.php    [NC,L]

It's the best practice!
