    hi

    i purchased an existing domain but without a content, in order for me not to get de listed in near future, by getting rid of 404

    ErrorDocument 404 /

    would that be sufficient? or do I need to do something with 301?

    any suggestions are very welcome

    thanks

    If you've an existing site and would like to shift to new domain name- go for 301 redirect.

    i dont have an existing site, thats the thing, so i just put front page "coming soon" and thats it.

    so i did errordocument 404 / in order to catch all pages
    so i'm thinkin should i do 301 instead of 404?

    You can make a landing page for the domain if you want, but you'll slowly lose all your SEO weight and Pagerank value to any internal links that were deeper in the website.
