Tips on moving your website

without comments

Have you ever moved your website, and you keep thinking you might be loosing users or if your even doing this properly. There are quite a few ways that you can make this process a lot easier and in the end, possibly a lot less errors.

  • Test your website on a private subdomain, before moving all of your files, etc. to another domain.
  • Setup a 301-Redirect (or another 3xx code), this will provide redirection and will be recognized by search engines.
  • Some domain registar’s will allow you to set up a 301-Redirect via a domain control panel (ex. GoDaddy)

This is about it for now, I think I’m going to start writing ‘how-to’ posts again, better ones and longer. If anyone would have any questions please feel free to post a comment and I will try and respond asap.
