Use an HTML redirection page:

HTML Code:

This page shows how to use an HTML <META> tag in the header to redirect to another page. The <META> tag goes in the <HEAD> section of your HTML document. The <META> tag on this page looks like:

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
          CONTENT="5; URL=html-redirect.html">

The "5" means to wait 5 seconds before redirecting. The "html-redirect.html" after "url=" is the URL of the page to which to redirect.

These two pages, "html-redirect.html" and "html-redirect2.html", will continue to switch back and forth until you close the window.

It is customary to include a direct link to the page that will be switched to automatically in case you get an older browser that doesn't support the feature or the user doesn't want to wait. Something like:

    This page has moved. If your browser doesn't automatically redirect to its new location, click here.

Just follow the instructions above to setup a redirection page, such as inside index.html or what not.
