my default page loads the home content, but I really need it to redirect to /home. So when the user hits the site they're at myurl.com/home and not just myurl.com
In Settings > URLS and SEO > SEO - URLs and set the Default page property to "Use page defined by default alias path". Assuming your Settings > Content > Web site content has the "Default alias path" property set to "/home".
Does this work in MVC?
PE only. I believe you need to set up some default routing for that to take place.
As Brended said - when you are using MVC, the routing and URL behavior is fully in your hands and your code of the front end MVC app.
