Web Server setup questions

I have the no-ip service installed on my file server computer and just installed a basic webserver on this computer also. I would like for the webserver to just have one page that redirects them to my website on the net. I haven't bought a domain name yet and just want this to work temporarily so it doesn't have to be something exactly permanant. I really just need either help setting up the webserver to automatically redirect to my site, or setting up a basic page that just redirects users to the correct site. Thanks.

It is not always good etiquette to redirect people from one site to another as some people are annoyed by this.

To redirect, just put a meta tag in the head part of a web page;
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" Content="X" URL="Y">

X = value of number of seconds before they are redirected, 0 will redirect immediately.
Y = url being redirected to.
