How do I redirect to a wordpress page

I have two domains. One is Linux and one Windows. I am developing sites in both and have different domain names for each. Windows has a standard HTML website on it, the Linux server has Wordpress on it.

Whichever one is not the 'public' and 'live' domain I want to forward to the other domain

At the moment i need to forward all traffic from the windows HTML site to the Wordpress site - but the code I have used in the past for this will not work . (See code below)

I need to forward from a Window server HTML website to a Wordpress websitesite page. How do I make this happen?

Thanks for the help.

<head>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.xxxxxxxx.xxx.uk/index.htm">
    <title>HoldingPage</title>
    <style type="text/css">
        .style1
        {
            width: 410px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
