Make an HTML page called index.html and put it in the main directory (not in your joomla directory) and put this above the <title><title/>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://ukmoders.ulmb.com/Joomla/index.php">

You may want to add a link on the main page that says Your being redirected to "Your Site" click here if you are not automatically redirected.

Or something like that

On an HTML page when you make an HTML document you put in a line that says <title></title> in the middle having your title.... just copy the code below and put it into a new file called index.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://ukmoders.ulmb.com/Joomla/index.php">
<title>Redirecting....</title>
</head>

<body>
<p>You are being redirected to the correct URL.</p>
<p>If you are not automatically redirected please click <a href="http://ukmodders.ulmb.com/Joomla/index.php">HERE</a>. </p>
</body>
</html>

Tyler, wouldn't it be better to use a PHP redirect? ;)

<?php header("Location: http://ukmoders.ulmb.com/Joomla/index.php"); ?>

Put that at the very top of the index file, above the <html> tag. :)

That would work also.

Or you could do both of them too. Just incase.

Header redirect is most effective, it is also search engine friendly..

If that code does not work there is something wrong with your browser configuration.
I would suggest reset your default settings.
