301 Redirect Questions

    Hi,
    I recently moved one of my sites from asp to php. My host said they set up 301 redirect for me.

    They told me to give them a list of directories (e.g. mysite.com/directory1, mysite.com/directory2) and they would put a redirect in every directory, which would take care of all pages in each directory.

    I have checked some pages within these directories (mysite.com/directory1/default.asp) and they are throwing 404 errors.

    Anyone know how I can correctly implement this 301 redirect for all pages on my site? The site is no longer with the host that is doing the redirect.

    Hi!
    I think you should place a 301 redirect in every asp, page, or better, use the .htacces to redirect fro example:
    pagename.asp to pagename.php
    I think it's much better!

    it is always better not to depend on your host for 301 redirects and you should do it yourself:)
