(X)HTML version
Uses a meta refresh URL redirect:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Redirecting</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://websemantics.co.uk/">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The problem with this is that it isn't search engine friendly and the back button is broken.
Personally I'd add actual content to this page. Well at least a h1 heading and a paragraph explaining the page has moved and a link where to.
<h1>Page has moved</h1>
<p>
It now resides here:
<a href="http://websemantics.co.uk/">
Page title
</a>
</p>
Javascript version
In Javascript the best method is to use the location replace as it doesn't break the back button:
location.replace('http://websemantics.co.uk/');
Again the problem is that it isn't search engine friendly.
PHP version
The use of a 301 response in the header
<?php
header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: http://websemantics.co.uk/" );
?>
ASP version
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://websemantics.co.uk/"
%>
ASPX (.net) version
<%@ Page Language = "C#" %>
<script runat = "server">
private void Page_Load ( object sender, System.EventArgs e ) {
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://websemantics.co.uk/");
}
</script>
