Answer 1

Set the base_url in config file and assign username to a variable then redirect to Base URL appended with username.
$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.example.com/';
$var = username;
redirect(base_url().$var);

Answer 2

When you want to pass a username or a id you may need to configure route
On the routes.php file Examples
$route['default_controller'] = 'test';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
$route['(([^/]+)/?)'] = 'test/$1';
$route['error'] = 'test/error';
$route['(([^/]+)/?)'] = 'test/user_Method/$1';

Working image
<?php
class Test extends CI_Controller {
function index($somename = null) {
$somename = 'example';
if($somename == "") {
redirect(base_url() . 'error');
} else {
redirect(base_url() . $somename);
}
}
function user_Method($somename = NULL) {
echo "Working ";
echo $this->uri->segment(1);
}
public function error() {
echo "ERROR PAGE";
}
}
Url
http://localhost/codeigniter-project/username
With index.php
http://localhost/codeigniter-project/index.php/username
Config Base URL
$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.domain.com/';
