I need to automatically redirect vistors who go to to
Is that considered forwarding? masking? or something else.

I'm am using godaddy for my domain reg & hosting.

Any advice or help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I don't use GoDaddy, but most servers allow you to specify the default page

Is the /xx part a directory or a file? There are ways to do both, but you have different options.

Hope this helps

Then in the root folder of mydomain.com, create the following index.htm file:
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.mydomain.com/xx/">
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

This is redirection. Also, using the trailing slash will help the server understand that 'xx' is a folder rather than a file.
