Well you could copy everything from the site directory into the public_html folder. You shouldn't have to change anything to get the site to work after that but a redirect will still take you to the /site. You can set it up though so that your index page redirects to that directory even though it will still trail /site on the end.

<?PHPheader("Location: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;

thnx for the info. I will try this.

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");header("Location: [url=http://your-new-address.tld;]http://your-new-address.tld;[/url]exit();

that is a better way of redirecting, as it is Google-safe (SEO-wise)

Notice from serverph:

added code tags.

Just move everything to your main folder (Usually called public_html) or hide the address bar

Instead of doing all that although the google one is interesting you set up the redirect through cpanel.

Notice from saint-michael:

Atthis time cpanel is down is I will get the rest of the info that is needed.
