Changed Website URL - How To Set Up Redirect For Each Page (Including Homepage)?

Hi,

I've got an old website (lets say www.123.com) and I want to move it to my new website (www.456.com).

The old website has about 10 pages, and I want to keep the search engine ranking that it has.

What I've done is upload a .htaccess file to 123.com with the following lines:

It seems to work as when I go to www.123.com/index.html it takes me to www.456.com but if I go to www.123.com (without the index extension) it doesn't redirect me, I'm not sure why.

How can I set it up to redirect from my homepage to the new homepage?


Thanks for any help

 

The only rule you really need is:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^456\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://456.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

or

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.456\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.456.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

To redirect everything that does not have 456.com or www.456.com (choose one) to the new address.

 

It doesnt redirect u because u didnt set this record

redirect 301 / http://www.456.com
