Hi Sha,

Thank you for answering.  I actually ran across the example you provided.  However that example lists the code to put in various server-side technology pages.  For example it lists the script to put in a .php page or a .aspx page.  Since my old pages that need to be redirected are .html I didn't think these would work.  For example, let say my old page is page.html and I put this 301 redirect script on a page called page.php and upload it to the server.  Google will not see page.php and page.html as the same page and therefore will not redirect the right page.  This is my understanding please correct me if I am wrong.

PS.  I don't understand the directions for the IIS redirect your link mentions.  I don't know what it means by "internet services manager", therefore I don't know how to follow its directions.  That could be the answer to my problem, I just don't know how to follow it.

Thanks

I need to redirect a page/URL that is purely .html to a new location.  I don't know how to do this.  All the redirects I can find are for server side code pages .php/.aspx etc.  From my understanding I can't put a server side redirect in a .html file.  I am hosting on a microsoft server, however the new page I am redirecting to is .php.  I am running some WordPress (.php) files on the server.  I need to make it redirect before the old page loads so visitors don't start reading something that is about to get redirected Can someone please help me?
