    Hi,

    I have 1 domain only, but i'd like the domain name : www.domain.co.uk to point to a particular page eg: www.domain.co.uk/start/index.htm

    What code to i use?

    I've seen code that uses just a slash ( / ) but wont that move everything from the domain where i want it to go?

    At the moment when people click on www.domain.co.uk there is one of those scripts php i think that redirects it, but there is a 1 second delay, so i'd like to change it on a permanent basis with the 301.

    Any help appreciated.

    Regards

    Try this:

    
RewriteEngine On

rewritecond %{http_host} ^www.domain.co.uk [nc]
rewriterule ^$ http://www.domain.co.uk/start/index.htm [r=301,nc]

    You need to produce an index.html file in the root file (as that is were your browser and search bot will automatically look)

    Use this code for the page:
    
<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0;URL=start/index.htm">
<title>Put the website name here</title>
<meta name="Classification" content="Internet">
<meta name="Robots" content="noindex,follow">
<meta name="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta name="Language" content="en">
</head>
</html>
