Basically, there are two ways of redirecting your visitor to another page.

  1. Your web hoster can implement a page redirection for you. Contact your web hoster for further details about this.
  2. You can add an HTML file yourself to redirect the visitor.

A simple meta tag in the document header redirects the page to another URL. Command lines

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; URL=http://www.new-url.com">

redirects your visitor to the new URL after three seconds.

PHP offers a similar command. The advantage of this is that neither the user nor any search engines - which frequently ignore redirections - notice that the page is being redirected. The PHP file only consists of one line; this needs to contain the command

<?php Header("Location:http://new-url.com"); ?>
