How to hide your URL from users

Christopher Smit asked:

I was wondering if it is possible to hide your URL from visitors on your site.

For example:

If my homepage URL is http://www.mydomain.co.za/pages/home.php.

How do I change that to for instance http://www.mydomain.co.za?

I do not want to show the /pages/home.php for reasons like:

I might have a file download on the page and if a user can figure out that these files are for instance in /files/myfile.zip then he can download it like that. Why is this n problem? Lets say the user needs to pay for the file or he needs to subscribe.

Long, useless story short. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
