    I have a .co.uk wordpress blog uk hosted (mistake!)

    for it to grow more think i need a .com and host in usa (different host) but want to avoid if possible losing my good rankings on google.co.uk whilst boosting my rankings in US on google.com

    I will have to use a slightly different domain name as .com not available.

    looking for someone experienced in such a move who can manage this

    i already have a us host

    thanks

    Move your content to the new domain and edit the .htaccess file in old .co.uk hosting as follows:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    If you need further assistance, PM me.

    All the best.
