    Default The best way to change a site's domain?

    Hi! I would like to know the best way I could change the domain of my site. Nevermind the content, It will remain the same.

    However, I wanted to know what's the best way to redirect from old domain, How to not loose rankings (if there's how) and any advice you guys could give me.

    I was also wondering that, Google already includes my blog on the blog results and some posts on the normal search engine, automatically, what helps on driving traffic. What can I do to keep it, if there's something to do, in new domain?

    Thank you!

    With htaccess, you can use a 301 redirect to the new website. So someone visits oldsite.com/<any url> and it redirects automatically to newsite.com/<any url>

    This is solid advise for having to switch hosting as well. (ie you move you site from hostgator to hostingthatdoesntsuck) pay for a month or with their htaccess switch to 301 and your PR rank should be good.

    to be more specific, edit your old .htaccess file and use this code
    PHP Code:
    RedirectPermanent http://www.newdomain.com/ 
    btw, this is after you move the site to your new domain & hosting

    You will notice an decline in traffic and rankings--just to warn you. Eventually it will go back up, but not to the same serp rankings as before unless you start building backlinks to the new domain.
