Hi, I am running a website 2 yrs old and due to some serious issue, I have to change my domain name. The old site is added to google webmaster tools as well as bing/Yahoo. Receiving around 100+125 organic visitors and all together 600-800 visitors daily. Can you please guide me how to tell Google & bing about it so that my organic search will not impact. This is a static html website. So, can you also suggest how to modify my hosting server so that if some people come to an article like "old.com/xxx/article1.html", he/she will redirected to "new.com/xxx/article1.html". There are around 1000 html pages. Please help me friends with you better suggestion. I have to change the domain name that is confirmed. Thanks, Ram
Moving an established site to a new domain is less than ideal. The best thing you can do is use a 301 logic that reditects the old URLs to the corresponding new ones. 301 is the only SEO friendly redirect, do not use any others. If you do not how to implement this yourself, you should ask a developer. You can find more info about this type of redirect here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93633?hl=en I hope this helps.
