Web page redirect

Post by Mackovyak »

Probably easy, I hope....

How to I make a web page redirect to another place. I have a domain and hosting already paid, but I just want it to automatically bounce over to my myspace account.

Is it something I do with the index?

What operating system / server software is your web server running? ( i.e. Linux/Apache)

There are several ways of doing this, but some work much better than others. The best way is to implement it in the .htaccess file used by Linux/Apache webservers.
... and then the wheel fell off.

use this code for the entire HTML of the page:

<HTML>
<BODY onLoad=location.href="http://www.YOUR_REDIRECTED URL.com">
</BODY>
</HTML>

I don't know. I was a Sun Cobalt system, but what BT put up worked!

Thanks
