Make index.php file with code:

CODE

<?php
header ("Location: http://www.domain.com/forums");
?>

or make index.html (or index.htm) with code:

HTML

where 2 denotes the time in seconds before it directs. Nice if you want to show a message "you're being redirected to another page in X seconds"

You can use .htaccess to achieve this while pleasing the Search Engines as well.

Create a file (if it doesnt already exist) called .htaccess and add the following code to the .htaccess file and then place the .htaccess file in your public_html folder.

CODE

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewriterule ^www.domain.com$ [url=http://www.domain.com/forum]http://www.domain.com/forum[/url] [r=301,nc]
rewriterule ^domain.com$ [url=http://www.domain.com/forum]http://www.domain.com/forum[/url] [r=301,nc]

What this does this that it redirects www.domain.com to www.domain.com/forum and tells the Search Engines that the homepage has permanently moved to the new page (forums).

Please REPLACE domain.com and with your actual domain name.

Note: This method of using .htaccess only works on Apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled (If you use Trap17 you will be fine!)

Automatic Redirection using HTML Tag

CODE

Put this code inbetween the <head> and </head> tags.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="n;URL=http://your_url">
Where 'n' is the number of seconds to wait before redirection. Set it to '0' if you dont want to wait.

Put the url where you want to be redirected by replacing the 'your_url'

Redirection Using JavaScript

CODE

Put this code any where between the <head> and </head> tags.

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
</SCRIPT>

Put the url where you want to be redirected by replacing the 'your_url'

Invisible Redirect Help - addon domain redirect invisibly (1)

Ok so I bought a domain name from yahoo and set it up. I added the trap17 name servers on it and

it correctly, but it changes to my atomicnacho.trap17.com/mynewdomain-com/ URL in the address bar.
I would like it to stay as www.mynewdomain.com. The redirect works fine, but the URL changes in the

301 Redirect - (1)

It was also free. But they had advertisements and I wasn't able to use my own domain name. So
I moved my site to Trap 17. The problem is, I got traffic to the old site, and have good search
engine rankings with the old URL. How do I do a 301 redirect? Does anybody have a tutorial they
could point me to? Also, part of the problem, the other host did not offer many advanced features
as trap 17. So I don't even know if a 301 redirect will be possible. Than...
