"if u give me a code or somthing i wont understand it"

This attitude is probably your biggest problem. You are either senior enough to manage someone to do it, rich enough to pay someone to do it, or you are going to have to learn to do it yourself. Since you are posting in here, I'll assume the last and give you some code:

Couple ways:

<?php
Header ("Location: <new page>");
?>

You can also use the redirect meta tag if you do not run PHP.

<META HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="n; URL=somewhere">

Where n is the number of seconds, and somewhere is the url you want to go to.

exactly what i mean-i dont understand that and i dont get how i use that-if i was told in a way i understand i can do it but nobody has explained how i use that code or what i do with it-if u could explain what i do with that then i can do it myself.

Ok, I'll bite.

Try taking this code:

"<META HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="n; URL=somewhere">"

and put it in a file called "redirectpage.html". Use notepad or something.

And upload it (ftp or have your webmaster do it) to your webserver in the document root directory.

Make sure "somewhere" is the webpage you're redirecting to. eg: if you're redirecting to [yahoo.com...] then the contents of the file "redirectpage.html" should be

<META HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="1; URL=http://www.yahoo.com">
