Redirect a website after moving it from one server to another in a Google friendly way

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I had the task to physically move a website from one host to another while doing it thebest 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.htmlredirect 301 /somepage.html http://new-location.com/somathing.htmlFrom Search Engine point of view it is best to create a custom redirectfor every webpage available on the old location of the website to the new one.
