Hello guys, I need to redirect a page from sitea.it/oldpage.html to sitea.it/newpage.htm . The site is hosted on a Linux server with apache installed, BUT mod-rewrite module is disabled and my hosting company doesn't want to enable it. Except changing the hosting company, anyone can recommend me a seo friendly way to do a 301 permanent redirect with mod-rewrite disabled? Would this way be as good as the .htaccess one? Thank you.
Is it on cpanel? Is so, see if they allow you to set up a 301 through cpanel. Other than that, there isn't a way that's as good as through .htaccess.
Thank you for your reply. No, they don't allow that. I heard about a php redirect ? How is this for seo purpose?
All other types of redirects, including anything in php, are going to be detrimental to your SEO efforts.
I contacted the support and they told me how I should fix. I'm going to send you a PM with their answer. Let me know if you think it's good or not. Thank you
