Changed Domain Url And Want To Redirect Traffic - Redirect traffic from Old URL to New url

thebluekirby
I changed my Domain URL from http://blukirby.trap17.com to http://seigikan.net using the processing form

but would there be any way to keep http://blukirby.trap17.com up for about 3 weeks with a page that says "we have moved!!" because the amount of hits I've been recving has vastly descreased and it took me a lot of work to get so many hits, and not that many people know about the URL change. So it would be nice =/ do you guys know if this is possible?

Yes.

In your .htaccess file located at the root of your site (inside www or public_html but not in any directory higher or lower than that), append this code to it:

CODE
redirect 301 / http://blukirby.trap17.com/message.html


In message.html located at the root, put up a nice little message that says you moved, and put up a nice large link to your new site.

My mistake was not doing this sooner because I thought this method wouldn't work, so my daily unique visitors went from 5000 to 1000.

If you have two different layouts for both sites, you can just redirect everyone to your new site:

CODE
redirect 301 / http://seigikan.net/


This way, search engines will modify their databases to include your new URL.

Good luck!

eh...does this effect happen instantly? because i tried editing my .htaccess so the last line says "redirect 301 / http://seigikan.net/" but it still doesn't redirect when i type in "http://blukirby.trap17.com" =/

If you changed the primary domain name to your top level domain name, then you don't have access to blukirby.trap17.com anymore, and unless another user requests it, it won't exist.

you could add a "we are going to move" sign or something and tell users to bookmark it or something like that

so then we won't be allowed to acces it? ;____; and we can't have double accounts, can we? Could I just request a redirection URL on trap17.com under "blukirby.trap17.com" to "seigikan.net"? or would that not be possible...

ok...I'm sorry about the double posting....
I decided to go to the trap17.com domain change processing form to change my URL back to http://blukirby.trap17.com and then park seigikan.net for a month, then go back to the domain change processing form and make my domain seigikan.net

but the problem with doing that is when I tried to park or addon my domain, this message would show up:
QUOTE
Sorry, you are not allowed to add any more than ( 0 ) parked domains!

but on the front of my cpanel page, it says i have unlimmited =/
does that mean I have to go back and get 15 credits all over again to change it back to seigikan.net or can you fix this so I can park it just for a month.

i'm sorry about the double post...
does trap17.com offer redirecting URLs? That would really help me...a lot...

i hope someone replies soon =/

You can only program it (write yourself a code which is available in our forum, search for "redirect" in tutorial or the search engine) to go from trap17.com to your new site when you have yourName.trap17.com as your domain.

When you changed from youName.trap17.com to your TLD (top level domain) you lost your trap17's subdomain. Therefore, you cannot program anything to redirect from your trap17 to TLD.

And no, trap17 does not offer URL redirect when you don't have subdomain of trap17.

Hmmm...I've decided to change my URL back to http://blukirby.trap17.com and get seigikan.net hosted somewhere else =/ i wanted them to be two seperate sites anyways. Thank you guys for your help =D this topic can be closed now, sorry for the trouble~

I am looking at your subdomain and it has a picture titled "Quick Hiatus!" Is that right?

Perhaps it just needed few hours for the subdomain to propagate. I also see that there's a pop-up. Did you install that or am I looking at the wrong place?
