The easiest way is with htaccess.
# This allows you to redirect page1.html to page2.html.
Redirect /page1.html page2.html
# This allows you to redirect page1.html to page2.html.
Redirect /page1.html page2.html

I would check with your hosting company (maybe their help pages) on how to do a 'redirect'.

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://www.newwebsite.com/" />

<p>Please follow <a href="http://www.newwebsite.com/">this link</a>.</p>

HTTP refresh works with most (all?) browsers. Put that refresh line at the top of your head section.
The zero for content is the time delay before the redirect...using zero is obviously the fastest.
The link is there in case the browser doesn't support the refresh.

1. Open Notepad.
2. Save the file as .htaccess
3. Enter the following without the quotations...
'Redirect 301 /origin /destination'
Note: replace 'origin' with the page name where you want traffic redirected from. Similarly, replace 'destination' with the name of the page of where traffic will go.
4. Upload to the root directory.
Note: Use 301 for permanent redirections. Use 302 for temporary redirections.
Hope this helps.

That syntax should work, but some hosts require a more in-depth syntax. If the above method doesn't work for you, be sure to check with your host. In some cases, their control panel may have a utility built into it to help you.
