Re: reduirection

I'm not entirely sure that ehlps. I'm trying to set my current web site,
which is soon to be moved elsewhere, to redirect to a Geocities site I
created to take over until the switch is complete, which may be several
weeks. I haven't a clue what web server my isp uses, and I obviously have
no
ability to change settings on their server. Is there a way to create an
html
file that can do the redirecting?
