Creating a permanent 301 redirect for an account at Comcast Home is way more difficult than it ought to be.

UPDATE. As in, conclusion: it can't be done. That is unethical web hosting.

Of course, they probably don't want you leaving their pathetic services for a real web site host, let alone with a content management system and open source free software.

Log in. Going to http://home.comcast.net will at least get you to a screen for this.

This poor guy got NO LOVE:
