    The title should read "without using .htaccess"

    I have successfully done redirects using .htaccess in the past.

    I am now trying to redirect a site from a free host (psend) but I don't seem to have any .htaccess. Are there any other options available and what would the SEO impact be? Thanks in advance.

    Place between head tags
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=yoursite.com">

    Better not make that refresh=0 - it may look deceptive.

    Better to make it 10 (seconds): that way (a) the spiders can follow it and (b) humans get a chance to see a page that tells them to update their bookmarks.
