Is it possible to redirect every page that a person types to the main page?
Example
www.mypage.com/find.htm --> www.mypage.com
www.mypage.com/blabla.htm --> www.mypage.com
www.mypage.com/test/bla/ddd.php --> www.mypage.com
Anything that a person types redirect to main page.
I use cpanel.
p.s didn't know where to post this.
Don't bump threads.
something like this may work...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://yourpage.com

Or you simply could have your 404 redirect to your homepage, but mikey's way is probably quickest :)

EDIT: Err, that'd probably just redirect users infinitely.

Moved to programming. Looks like you have a few options.

I used to have a community website with over 3.000 uniqe visitors a day. My old host stopped and deleten all my files :(
Yet all my users still link to me, so I needed the code to link them to my main page that explains the situation

Try this, just put it in your main .htaccess file:
ErrorDocument 404 /index.html
index.html would be your main page, or where ever you want to direct to. This only works, though, if there is no page there, as it redirects all 404 errors.
