    Greetings,

    Dear experts I am really in need of help. In a couple of days I am going to change my domain name from certcollection.co.cc to certcollection.org. The thing is I am running a forum and I don't want thousands of URLS to give 404 error. Please guide me to redirect from old forum to new forum

    Example

    http://certcollection.co.cc/forum/learn-subnetting-in-5-minutes-t-2058.html

    to

    http://certcollection.org/forum/learn-subnetting-in-5-minutes-t-2058.html

    Please also guide where to place the .htaccess file, either in the main directory or the forum directory

    to make it more simple don't use forum but only domain name instead
    it's will transfer everything

    i had use Redirect 301 / http://www.nimhost.com from http://www.nimbrung.com and everything was cleared including the cache on search engine for any file related on my site :)

    put the htaccess on http://certcollection.co.cc/ root folder (eg. public_html) and it will note automatically SE spider visiting your old site that you had move your old site to new domain which is http://certcollection.org/

    nimhost thank you. I did as you said but I am having some other problems now. I have other sites hosted on the same directory i.e public_html, those are also being redirected now. Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Thx

    e.g


    http://qtpclan.co.cc
