Last year I created my own website from scratch. Although it is nothing big, I would like to improve it by replacing awkward, hard to remember, URLs.
So, I would very much like to move from "http://www.iubuntu.cz/index.php?id=0" to "http://www.iubuntu.cz/" and from "http://www.iubuntu.cz/index.php?id=1" to "http://www.iubuntu.cz/desktop".
Can someone please redirect me to some info about this? I was trying to find something through Google, but it seems I am unable to ask a proper question.
Thank you very much.
For makng your website url user friendly and SEO friendly you can do it by URL rewriting. That's mean your original Url will mapped to a SEO friendly custom url. e.g. "http://www.iubuntu.cz/index.php?id=0" to "http://www.iubuntu.cz/desktop".
To do this you need to know .htaccess. Here is the sample of url rewriting using htaccess.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^Users/home$ http://www.example.com/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.example.com/ [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
