C# MVC utilising parameter on default route

Question

I'm using MVC 4.

My default route on my site is Home/Index so when the user enters the URL www.example.com it goes to that route.

Could you let me know if it is also possible to receive a parameter appended to that URL i.e. www.example.com/param? It works if I use www.example.com/Home/Index/param but that's not ideal.

I'm guessing its something I need to add to the Global.asax but I can't find examples anywhere.

        context.MapRoute(
            "Home_all",
            "/{*actions}",
            new { controller = "Home", action = "Index"}
        );

But be aware that route will match all urls , so you need to register it at last :) That Routing will be called like this in your Home Controller for example... Actions will be a part from the url, and you can even add some parameter in the query string

    public ActionResult Index(string actions, string id)
    {
    }
