They may well be using rewrite in apache to 'redirect' requests to the
.htm pages to the php page. If so this will probably be done for search
engine friendliness. You can do the same if the new host is apache and
supports it, or use an alternative method like error document to achieve
the same thing. Alternatively you could alter the links to point at the
php version but retain the search engine friendliness by using a link
like index.php/aboutus_front and changing the php to pick up the
variable from path info.
