I have changed servers and need to direct people to my
new site. How do I do that in front page?

Thanks

Karen
 
It's tricky, because anyone can go to any page in your web. There are a
couple of ways to do it. The easiest is through IIS Admin. Just set up the
web site to redirect to the new web site. However, if you don't have the
ability to do it through IIS, you can add a META Refresh tag or JavaScript
to every page in the site, which redirects to the new site. Example:

<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"
content="2;URL=http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm">
</head>

With JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.location = "http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm";
</script>

It is also a good idea to add a text box at the top of the page that says:
"This page has moved. You should be redirected in 2 seconds. If that does
not happen please click on the link below. Please update your bookmarks.
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm">My Newpage</a> "

I've found on some browsers redirect doesn't always work.

PS
Set the redirect to 10 not 2 or some search engines will drop you
Agree having it done on the server is best
