Default Setting up a "companion" domain

Hi there

I have a website with a .com domain that I've had for a few years with a hosting company. This is fairly basic hosting. I was thinking about setting up the same name with a .net on another host which offers a lot more for less money..

When I get all set up with the new .net, I know that I can point from the old .com site so that all visitors will see the contents of the .net but can I keep my page rank and "maturity" on the new site as part of the domain forwarding?

thanks for your help

Jennifer

If you're dropping the .com in favour of the .net then you should 301 all your .com pages to the new domain.

.htaccess -
Quote:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
.asp
Code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently" 
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.newdomain.net"
%>

Default Stuck again with Redirect problem

Hi again

I'm trying a redirect with another site now. Basically I'm trying to redirect from the subdomain to using the .htaccess file.

I was trying this

Quote:
redirect 301 / http://www.digitaldesigncottage.com"
in the .htaccess file inside the blog folder but it's redirecting each time to or something similar.

(I think) I understand why it's doing this but basically I was looking for help on what exactly the redirect should say because I'm stuck. Any help is much appreciated.

Jennifer

Hi Cormac, thanks a million for your reply. Unfortunately that's not working either, it just stays put on blog.digitaldesigncottage.com .

Am waiting for a reply back from the host to see if they can give me a hand.

all the best
Jennifer
