If you are using apache as a webserver and have an htaccess file you could do this:

RedirectMatch 301 /index.html http://www.beginnersstud.com

You can also generate an xml sitemap and upload it using Google Webmaster Tools. Be sure you all links to the home page are formatted as href="/" or href="http://www.beginnersstud.com"

Someone else may have a better or more elegant solution.

This assumes your webhost is running apache:

How would I know that My webhost is running apache? my host is godaddy.com

Either call Godaddy and ask them, or just give it a shot, if it works, you are. If you have Skype, I have a few minz right now, I can help ya out.

If you didn't do anything, it's not fixed. It's amistake to spend time on a website that is not setup properly since it will for sure have more problems in the future.
