Please use example.com for example urls. That's what it's there for. :-)

Usually by sending a 301 (moved permanently) or 302 (found) HTTP status
code to the browser, pointing to the other site. Others in the 3xx
series could also be used, as appropriate.
> Am I looking at an apache configuration ?
Assuming your site is hosted with Apache, of course. ;-) Yes, it can be
done on the web server. It can also be done in a server-side scripting
language, such as PHP:
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
> Or is this an html trick ?
It can (kind of) be done in HTML, as per Neredbojias' post, but is
better handled server-side.
