try it

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?website\.com$ [NC] 
RewriteRule .* http://www.website.com/home [R=301,L]

This rule redirects www.website.com to www.website.com/home

Or add this to your .htaccess

RewriteRule ^/?$ /home [R=301,L]

One rule can handle both redirects:

RewriteRule ^/?(index\.php)?$ /home [NC,L,R=301]
