Every site needs a root page. For their site the page is home.php

putting the store in the root directory of the subdomain is a great idea.

http://shop.mpartworks.com/ actually loads http://shop.mpartworks.com/index.php which then redirects to http://shop.mpartworks.com/home.php - try entering http://shop.mpartworks.com/ here:
