Hi, We currently have a magento website running 1.3 (yes i know a very old version) and we are looking to move hosting company and rebuild the website using the latest version of magento. The website is well positioned on Google and has site links in the listing. To protect the URL juice and indexing, do we essentially need to create a .htaccess file on the new host and redirect old url to new? When the site is ready, we'll change the nameservers to the new host. URL's are just one aspect, does the page title and description have to match like for like as well? Thanks in advance.
No on the descriptions etc. and in theory, unless you totally refactored your category tree, you should not really have to do much. hope that helps, Nigel
