    You could use a ht access file if you using Apache

    .htaccess in root of iamjpg. 
    Redirect / http://www.iamjpg.com/love/

    I think that's suppose be the most Search Engine Friendly.

    But a PHP can do a 301 direct as well:

    index.php:

    [php]<?
    header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
    header( "Location: http://www.iamjpg.com/love/&quot; );
    ?> [/php]

    Your host might have very simple settings in there control panel to do this.

    Im with godaddy and this is easily done through there control panel

    I was struggling with the htaccess file because i was hosting 8 domains on the same server :pac: Had it sorted in 2 mins through the control panel
