Hi All

Hope this is the correct place to post this ...

I would like to do the following and am not 100% sure of the process ...

I decided on a new site ( .com ) name and want to forward the old site which I'll call ( site A ) to the new site URL which I'll call ( site B ).
The new site ( site B ) will be the exact same as site A , only the URL will change .
I have the main page ( index.htm) and 17 additional index pages .


I like to have it so when one enters the old URL of site A , you are forwarded or redirected automatically to site B without even knowing it .

In other words no redirection or forwarding page in between the transition from site A to Site B .

Do I also have to forward all of the index pages as well or does just forwarding the main URL take care of everything ???




Thanks

see if this helps you.

You should also be able to perform a URL redirect through your sites control panel; another option would be to create a "stealth" redirection through myDomain (http://mydomain.com)

Your domain needs to be registered at eNom or an eNom reseller (NameCheap, RegisterFly, PowerPipe). If it's not, transfer it to eNom or an eNom reseller (NameCheap is my personal recommendation) then. Someone else may be able to point out other domain registrars that support free forwarding, but I recommend eNom.

Then setup URL Forwarding (not URL Framing) for Domain B and redirect it to Domain A.

If your website is EXACTLY the same with the same page names, you shouldn't have to worry about anything else (if I'm remembering everything correctly). If you change page names, it may get more complicated.

For example, I'm doing it with www.southjerseywebdesign.com

btw, as you can tell from the replies, there are multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing.

Another solution would be to setup a domain alias with your host. E-mail them or check your control panel for more details on that.
