=Redirecting to another website=
The above explains how to redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com, bit if you want to redirect yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com to a completely different website or page, then you can do a similar thing to the above.
# Create your index.http file as above, but change the 'Location' the the web site or web page that you want to redirect to
# Upload the index.http to your website
## when you FTP you want to add the file to the 'root' as well as the 'www' folder - this will then make sure that the redirect will be used whether you go to your domain with or without the www prefix.
## The easiest way to do this is to FTP using the username www.yourdomain and then repeat the upload with the username without the www. prefix
