This presumes that the hosting company has not put the directive
"AllowOverride None" in their configuration for your site. (For
Apache 2.3.9 and later, this is the default). It speeds up serving
web pages slightly by never looking for .htaccess files at all.
Therefore, you can't do redirects in .htaccess . If you discover
that your hosting company does this and they won't budge, find
another hosting company.
I recall trying to help some friends dealing with a hosting company
paranoid about security, at least for cheap/free accounts. One
official way to close your account was to upload a .htaccess file
(containing anything at all, or nothing at all). Your account would
be gone within an hour. So would all the other accounts using the
same payment account. And no, you couldn't get it back, except
perhaps by using a fake name and different domain name and payment
account. This was long ago and they offered essentially NO active
content or PHP except a hit counter CGI they provided.
You *CAN* do a redirect with pure HTML (done in the user's browser):
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1;URL=http://mysite.com/path/foobar.php">
</HEAD>
