Wordpress is a very standalone script and everything you need to do is to be done inside. I used to redirect links using cpanel redirection feature but failed to use it with wordpress. I asked Google and finally I found the solution. I stumbled in Adventures in Keyframes and Codes and I found what I was looking for. To further help spread this very useful information, I am republishing the method.
The process is simple. You just need to download a single text file called template-redirect.txt and follow the following process.
1. Download template-redirect.zip and install it in your template directory. Example: public_html > wp-content > themes > your theme director.
2. Log-in to your wordpress admin area (wp-admin) and create a new page. Just type the title you want for that page and type the target URL in the body of the page.
3. Select “Page Redirect” in the page template.
Save the page and you are done.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
