The default web root folder usually is /usr/share/nginx/html or www
Also, you should probably move your web root to /var/www or /srv/www because it is not good practice to leave it in the /usr/share/nginx folder. You can do this by editing your site web config in /usr/share/nginx/sites-available

Hi first of all please make sure you read this article about your server security.

If you are going to have any server side scripts, make sure you don’t have any security holes in your scripts at least change the file owner and group to another. because root means full access, imaging what they can do if you have a security hole.
