Hi there,

My hosting company is being fairly useless on this including telling me .htaccess doesn't do redirects on their system, when I use it all the time so I come here hoping

I want to redirect one domain name to another;

Now I can redirect one page to another easily
i.e redirectpermanent \old_url [new_url...]

but what I want to do
is redirect top level domain so [old_domain.com...] points to [new_domain.com...]
now there isn't a file to point cos /index.htm is not mentioned of course

I have seen redirectpermanent / [new_domain...]
but that doesn't appear to work.
any ideas?
thanks
Paul

You might search here for 301 redirect topics. There have been a number of redirection methods discussed here that may give you some new ideas.
