Thanks for that Dan. The issue is my website is a hosted one (Arvixe) and I have no access to IIS and therefore no way to install URL Rewrite, nor any way to run the add-on (that I am aware of).

What type of hosting package do you have with them? Personal or Business Class with Windows? Either way according to their website the URL Rewrite module for IIS7 is already installed and available.
Here is their site showing the Personal Class offerings... the Business Class is similar. Look under the "Development" section:

In your case, you might want to investigate creating a URL Rewrite map. This is where you define older pages and map rewrites to the new destination.
