This would require a .htacces file afaik. This requires a Linux/Apache (Windows/IEE using something else I think). Google for anything specific (because options are quite extensive
). Or you could do a javascript redirect on the domain to new extended address (disadvantage of this approach is that a user who has JS disabled (who should be shot instantly without questioning) will not be redirected).

You can also use a html redirect:
<head> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=www.domainaddress.com/store"> </head>
It's not the best option, but it doesn't require Javascript at least.

The html soultion sounds simplest but why isn't it the best?
Is the best both? The html would work for anyone that has JS disabled.
My host is Liquid Web. I am pretty certain that they use Linux/Apache. They installed Joomla and so maybe I should ask them about redirecting my domain name.

The HTML method is not good because your visitors are not redirected immediately, so there usually is a couple of seconds that the user must wait.
For info about the .htaccess redirect, see here: www.webweaver.nu/html-tips/web-redirection.shtml . It's easy and the best option if you your server is Apache.

- I'll check that out- but does the html method conflict with the other? Can the be a hierarchy so that if the fastest method doesn't kick, the backyp method does?

Look at this article:

I had forgotten the php header method, that could be an option too I think.
