Ok, So i need to do a 301 redirect but my host doesn't have the feature with htaccess. I currently use yahoo. What are my options?

If you can use alternative languages such as PHP or ASP then you can still achieve a 301 redirect. Here's a useful page of different 301 options.

Hey Joel-

Check out this article on moz; look for section #2.

Rand suggests a meta refresh with 0 delay when you have no htaccess:

If that doesn't work or you have lots of URLs to deal with, you may want to consider another hosting provider that offers you more bang for the buck!

Hope that helps!

I heard google doesn't like the meta refresh style of dealing with this.

Does anyone have a good php code that i could use? Where would I place the code?

Yes, see the link I posted above and you place it in your PHP file before any HTML or headers are outputted.
