Tips on moving your website

leave a comment »

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.
