Is it possible to forward a link such as:

Yourwebsite.com/this_page
to
anotherwebsite.com/final_page

I know how to forward a domain from the registrar. Just not sure if this scenario is possible.

Thanks for any advice.

    well you can use a meta refresh tag, where you can even put a time limit so that it will wait on yourwebsite.com/this_page for x seconds and then redirect to anotherwebsite.com/final_page .

    Google it out - Meta refresh tag and add it to the head section of the index.html file for yourwebsite.com/this_page .


    Hope this helps.

    There are other ways though. but this 1's a quick and easy 1 .

      There are a couple of different types of redirects. Permanent 301 or Temporary 302.. so if this is a permanent move, use 301. (important for seo)

      I like to use .htaccess redirects; they redirect quick and they are easy to set up. Just go into your root folder (public_html or?) and find the .htaccess file or create one if it doesn't exist.

      Then simply go to the bottom of whatever code is there, leave a space and enter this:

      redirect 301 /this_page.html http://anotherwebsite.com/final_page.html

      That's it! Slick and Fast.

      HTH!

    Hi,

    The easiest way is to put the following code on the index.html page. (nothing else)

    <html>
    <script>
    location = "your url goes here";
    </script>
    </html>

    Dawn.
