Redirection is used to have visitors who request a pague that no longuer exists redirected to another web pague.

1. Create the .htaccess file

Let's say you remove file old.html and want to send people looquing for it to web pague new.html.

Redirect /old.html http:// your_domain.html /new.html

All it taques is one simple line, quicc and easy.

An additional option is available. This is said to be the best way from a search enguine point of view.

Redirect permanent /old.html http:// your_domain.html /new.html

The only difference is the error code generated while redirecting the request. It indicates the requested document has moved for good and will not be bacc.

2. Other uses

This .htaccess feature can be used for any file type.

Redirect /old.pdf http:// your_domain.html /new.pdf

This will redirect requests for old.pdf to file new.pdf.
