    Hi there

    Sorry I am quite stupid and dumb when it comes to making websites or HTML kind fo stuff but I want to ask, when i get a domain name, how do i get peopel click that will re-direct to a particular website instead of the actual website?

    For example, just say my domain is:
    www.forevercupboard.com

    And then when someone clicks above my link, i wanted to be redirected to
    www.ebay.com

    What steps do i need?

    Obviously, the first one is I need to have a domain name which I have registered already as well as a web hosting account too (I use GODADDY as domain and HOSTGATOR as web host). Any step by step instruction to re direct would be very much appreciated, I think it must be in the godaddy setting somewhere to change but cannot find it so far.

    Thanks and cheers

    is this done by .htaccess? I know you can use that to redirect within your site, but not sure if you can do it for external links. Someone else will be more help.

    Maybe try this

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.ebay.com">
    Code (markup):
    Put that in dreamweaver, then save as Index. Upload it to your Public_HTML folder.
