Regards,
I was told that you could do a meta refresh redirect to replace the 301 redirect functionality that Yahoo for some reason won't let you use with their hosting plans. I tried it last night, and it worked wonderfully for my no-www domain until I tried to visit my www-domain directly and the page just refreshed constantly. I had to remove the meta tag to get it to stop. Not sure what I did wrong (followed instructions to the tee) but I could NOT get the damn thing to work. Also if you have a Yahoo Shopping merchant account you should be able to use the 301 redirect by visiting your Domain Control Panel for your account. It seems that only the merchant accounts and domain users have access to the forwarding features, whereas us hosting customers are just screwed...
Thanks for your reply... yes my client have Yahoo Shopping merchant but how we can use you talling about use meta we made the CMS in php and we hav thousand of pages i am still confused let me know yout thoughts and please can you explain me little more i will be very thankfull.
I believe there is also a PHP redirect script, but I have no experience with that. I would encourage you to see if you can access the domain forwarding features in your store account. I believe that is an all encompassing solution. Definitely give Yahoo a call...
