301 Redirect

Hi:

I hope somebody is able to help me with this one.

I use to have my site on a different server. It was also free. But they had advertisements and I wasn't able to use my own domain name. So I moved my site to Trap 17.

The problem is, I got traffic to the old site, and have good search engine rankings with the old URL.

How do I do a 301 redirect? Does anybody have a tutorial they could point me to?

Also, part of the problem, the other host did not offer many advanced features as trap 17. So I don't even know if a 301 redirect will be possible.

Thanks.

Hey sunkist!

You can easily do a 301 redirect by going to your another host cPanel (if its available), then go to Manage Redirects.

Choose "Permanent Redirect" and supply your new URL that's hosted here in trap17.

If in your another host you dont have access to cPanel you'll need to look in your FTP client if there's a file called: .htaccess

If yes open it with wordpad and add this line:

RedirectMatch permanent "Your old URL" "Your new trap17 URL (with http://)

Don't forget to take the "" off. I hope i helped you.

Invisible Redirect Help - addon domain redirect invisibly (1)

Ok so I bought a domain name from yahoo and set it up. I added the trap17 name servers on it and
added it as an addon domain in my trap17 cpanel. I have the addon domain redirect set to redirect
it correctly, but it changes to my atomicnacho.trap17.com/mynewdomain-com/ URL in the address bar.
I would like it to stay as www.mynewdomain.com. The redirect works fine, but the URL changes in the
address bar. I need to make sure that the new domain points to a folder under my main public_html,
so I thought I needed to set it up as an addon domain. I've searched around...
