   Use the header() function[1] to force a redirect in the HTTP
headers:
header("Location: 
http://startx.co.uk/Kingsclere");
   This needs to be done before any other output gets sent. However,
if you control the server, use an Apache redirect, as below.

   I'd guess you're not using a virtual host configuration in Apache.
If that's the case, simply add:
RedirectPermanent / 
http://startx.co.uk/Kingsclere
to the end of your config file[2].
   If you are using a virtual host, that line goes inside the VH
definition instead.
