I think what you are looking for is called 'redirection', typically used
when your change or get a domain name.
example 1 where you change domain
www.olddomain.com >> www.newdomain.com
example 2 where you stop using your freebe ISP space and get real hosting
www.myISP.com/~freebeUserHosting >> www.newdomain.com
If is explain your situation then metta-refresh method in the index page
of the 'old' URL but this is really a poor method
If old hosting is Apache you can use (if allowed) an .htaccess file in
your old server to redirect:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
If you don't have the .htaccess option then if you have CGI on old
server you can make you old sites index page a PHP file and rewite the
header
example index.php:
$newDomain="http://www.example.com" //your new domain
$requestURI=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header("Location: $newDomain$requestURI");
exit;

Take care,
