I have a personal web site hosted on a server owned by the university where I work. The server allows plain HTML/CSS but no fancy server-side script stuff.
Now I want to move my site to Google Sites, which will be easier for me to keep updated. I would like to know what the best solution for redirecting traffic at the old URL (www.generic.edu/~username/index.html) to the new site is. Two solutions that come to mind are:
- making a plain HTML page with some text saying "click this link to go to the new site".
- a HTML page that loads the new web site into a frame at the old URL.
Is either method clearly superior for some reason, or is there a better third approach?
