Redirect a website after moving it from one
server to another in a Google friendly way
I had the task to physically move a website from one host to
another while doing it the best SEO way possible.
Here is how I did it:
I used mod_rewrite and the following
.htaccess rules
like:
redirect 301 /index.html http://new-location.com/index.html
redirect 301 /somepage.html http://new-location.com/somathing.html
From Search Engine point of view it is best to create a custom
redirect for every webpage available on the old location of the
website to the new one.
