On my company's hosting environment (http://afpwebworks.com) , all site owners have access to custom error pages. they can set their own up. That feature was designed for users to have pretty "page not found" messages, but could equally be used for redirecting users to another page.
Maybe they have something similar where you are? If they have the HELM control panel it's a standard feature in the advanced setup.
