The http-equiv method is deprecated:

http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#meta-element

There is a couple of other ways to do it listed on

http://www.stevenhargrove.com/redirect-web-pages/

I use a .htaccess file in the root directory, which triggers apache
to send a "301 moved". It contains a single line

Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.siebengang.net/

Don't use just / instead of /index.html, as it will cause a redirect
loop.
