well you could make a directory called 1 and put inside index.php with script
<?
header("Location: [exsample.com...]
?>
or use mod_rewrite

or from cpanel

Do you want a redirect or an internal rewrite? The answer depends on whether you want the search engines to list URLs with or without extensions. If you want them to list extensionless URLs, but you want those URLs to access files with a .html extension, then an internal rewrite is needed:

Internal rewrite in top-level directory .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(m/[0-9]+)$ /m/$1.html [L]

External redirect in top-level directory .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(m/[0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/m/$1.html [R=301,L]
