    If you have moved 'page1.html' to 'page2.html', you could use a 301 redirect on 'page1.html' which would send everyone who went to 'page1.html' to 'page2.html', this includes search engines. The 301 bit tells them that this change is permanent.

    Is it blackhat?

    No

    Is it disliked by spiders?

    No

    Its the best, easiest way of moving pages/sites without losing traffic.

    go to cpanel there is a "Manage Redirects"

    click on it, use the all site or a folder or a single page, enter the url which you want to direct to.

    use the permanent option, add.

    That's it

    is this better than using a meta refresh?
