Website redirect

[Ivor]

Put a 301 redirect in the .htaccess file, thus:

Redirect 301 / http://address.of.other.site.here

Alternatively if your webserver doesn't support or isn't configured to support .htaccess (not sure what you're running) you could use a meta refresh on the index page:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; url=http://address.of.other.site/">

you can then have a friendly message in there saying the site is being redesigned, and that they'll be redirected.

ah yes the .htaccess redirect will divert the whole site. forgot it was on the same domain.

you need to restrict the first match parameter in the .htaccess file.
you'll want:

Redirect 301 /index.html http://new.page.location
