redirect url question

How do I accomplish this...

I want to link mobile users to a mailchimp subscription page but I want to do it via my domain. Mostly because its a lot easier to type than the urls one gets from mailchimp but also because it's a catchy domain name to use.

eg.

A mobile user will type mydomain.com/businessname into their mobile browser but the page that will be displayed is mailchimp.com/that-business-subscription-form

Anyone?

you could always iframe the mailchimp form?
Code:
```
<iframe src="http://mailchimp.com/that-business-subscription-form"></iframe>
```
or have it redirect, create a index.php plug in your mail form and upload it mydomain.com/businessname
Code:
```
<?php

   header( 'Location: http://mailchimp.com/that-business-subscription-form' ) ;

?>
```

  If you're site is a WP install just use the Pretty Links free plugin and you'll be done in seconds.

  That redirect worked a treat! Thank you so much. Do you know if using it creates any lag times between redirects. I didnt notice any.

my suggestion, you can use the user agent reader, to ensure that the visitor accessing your site via a mobile phone.
