Hi:
Lets say I have the domain http://oldsite.com set up to redirect to http://newsite.com/oldstuff (using my registrar's redirection service). My question is, when someone types in http://oldsite.com/articles/, can I assume it will be redirected to http://newsite.com/oldstuff/articles/? In other words, does the redirection "cascade" to sub folders as well?

Thanks.

try using .htaccess and edit

Redirect / http://newsite.com/oldstuff/articles/

Thanks. My question is on using the registrar's redirection service, common among many registrars, to do this though. How will redirection behave in this case? Does it cascade?

It depends on how your registrar has set up their redirect service. If they're just using some META tags or javascript then no, it probably won't cascade like you want it to. If they're doing something more advanced, such as apache redirection and so on then perhaps it might. Just experiment!
