Domain Name Redirection Code

[osecrown]

Hello House,

Please how can i redirect

mydomainname.com

to

mydomainname.com/blog?

so that any surfer that types the first URL will be automatically redirected to the 2nd URL.

Thank you all

Osecrown

You can actually do this in 3 ways:

• Meta Refresh on index page of mydomain.com:
  

  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://mydomain.com/blog">

• Server-side script (PHP). Place this on the index of domain.com
  

  <?
  Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
  Header( "Location: http://www.domain.com/blog" );
  ?>

• Use htaccess. For further reading:

Hope that helps.

If your site is hosted with cPanel, you have the additional option of setting up a redirect through there.
