You already have it. Anything after the website extension and slash follows the directory tree within your root folder of your server. For instance, if you have a folder named trial within the root directory, the URL would be:

www.mywebsite.com/trial

Remember, if you want it to go to a file within that folder, you must either specify the file name: example.html OR have an index.html within that folder, then you just need to specify the folder.

Also, if you want it to redirect automatically, either set up forwarding in the domain hosting settings or use javascript or php to do a redirect.

Hope that helps.
