How Do I Redirect My Site To A New Domain Name? by fishjam: 10:38am On Jul 19, 2018 |
Hello, I need Advice. My Domain name expires in 2 days time. I don't have interest in that Domain name again but i have interest in the website and planning to get another domain name. My question is how do i redirect traffic from the expiring domain name to the new one. Also do i still need to renew the expiring one? Or just buy another domain and redirect b4 it expires. I'm confused. For example if you visit naij.com you will be redirected to naija.ng Same with madailygist.com >>>> madailygist.ng Lastly i've been hearing about 301, 302 redirect e.t.c I know nothing about it. So i need detailed explaination. Current domain is being registed on godaddy but i'm looking to buy new one on whogohost Thanks |

The questions are Why do you want to buy a new domain name? Do you think about search engines crawling? How do you want to manage your old traffic that are used to your old domain name? How do you intend to manage the backlinks? It either you renew your old domain than re-direct it to the new one. That means you will have 2 domain to renew every year. Check YouTube for the tutorial on how to redirect a domain name. Good luck |

First, you have to keep the old domain, if it expires, it's no longer yours , you don't have any access to it and what you are trying to achieve won't work. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*)$ http://seconddomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] </IfModule> Place the above code in the .htacess of the old domain. Change - example.com to your old domain change - seconddomain to your new domain 1 Like |

once your old domain is expired, it will no longer work even when you redirect because it is no more yours. so for it to work, it needs to be active |

sazjun: To answer you questions, Previous domain got banned from google adsense Search Engines crawlers shouldn't have problem with redirection if done properly ryt? My Old traffic? 99% comes from search engine Backlinks? I have no idea how that's gonna work out Just advice me to the best of your knowledge if it would be best to dump the site once and for all or Proceed. I have other sites that are doing pretty well. Thanks Sir |

SirLakes: Just do this....I guess you know how to access your .htaccess file And you can also do the re-direction directly from your cpanel |
