You mean a redirect? That doesn't make your URL any safer, since it still redirects to your own URL eventually.

But if you really want it, just stick this in a text file named redirect.html:

Code:
 
<script>
loc=window.location.href;
if (loc.indexOf("?")<0) { document.write("No URL has been supplied. Please go back and try again."); }
else {
window.location.href=loc.split("?")[1].split("URL=")[1];
}
</script>
Redirecting...Please Wait...


Upload that. Then whenever you want a "safe" URL, as you call them, just have the link go to that page, with the addition of ?URL=http://www.myNEWurl.com at the end of the URL (after .html).

Again, it's not really any safer at all, so I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but that will work.

-IMP ;) :)
