    Hi, I recently got the domain name dodesign.us for my site (which used to be dodesign.fh-net.com). The only problem now is that every inbound link to my site is dodesign.fh-net.com and google still uses the dodesign.fh-net.com. What can I do to redirect all the dodesign.fh-net.com people to dodesign.us? And what can I do about the search engines? I have a pr of 4 on the .fh-net domain. Is there anyway to send the search engines to dodesign.us?

    Thanks!
    Daniel

    Look around for 301 permanent redirect. This will help transfer your old rankings and PR to the new site. Good luck!

    Thanks a lot

    So this would work on the .htaaccess?

    RedirectMatch 301 (.*) http://dodesign.us/
    Code (markup):
    And is it SE friendly?


    EDIT: It didn't work because it is being hosted by the same people on the same server. I'm gonna contact the hosting company but if anyone has any other suggestions, let me kow
