Hi... have a look at an HTML tutorial where you can find that the header can contain a refresh statement that can be used as a redirector.

otherwise, use a RewriteRule in .htaccess

redirect 301 / http: //www.yourdomain.com/newpage.htm

That will redirect your root index file of the site to your new page. (I intentionally broke the link by putting a space after http:, but you will need the full path to the new file)

I am soory but do not understand what you mean

I changed what you said

redirect 301 / http: //www.example.com/new.html

But after the http: do I have to put something there?
