Redirection...

[eyOr]

Can someone enlighten me as to how I would redirect visitors to my old site to my new site? I know it must just be some simple code, but I forget it.....

Thanks!

try this.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=/domain.com">

replace the 0 with whatever number of seconds you'd like, and domain.com with your new domain name.

That's what I was looking for! Thanks.

Also, does anyone know how to make it so that when someone goes to, say, file.shtml it automatically redirects to file.html? Like by modifying .htaccess?
thanks

A more efficient method if your site supports .htaccess is place this code in a file named: .htaccess into your main web directory of your host.

Redirect / http://newdomainsite.com

That way, anyone who visits your domain, for example olddomainsite.com, will be redirected to http://newdomainsite.com regardless of where they entered as the url.

so even a http://newdomainsite.com/hello/this/...ateverfile.htm

will bring them to http://newdomainsite.com

crucial, put the .htaccess file into the server http://oldodmainname.com resides on.
