Hello all,
I'm in the midst of trying to move a static HTML site to a new domain. On the new domain, I'm using WordPress.
The situation is this:
My old site is hosted by SBI! which is proprietary. I have cancelled with them and will be moving my domain name to a new registrar (my other domains live at NameCheap). I already have a new domain/WordPress install set up and have no problem with the hard work of reposting content. I have no desire to use the old domain name for the site (it was hit hard by Google algo changes even though I have tried to be 100% white hat in everything I do).
I know I need to set up redirects to point to the pages on the new domain. Can I use the redirect tool in my cPanel in HostGator? Or do I have to go into the .htaccess file (which I don't know how to do)? This feels like a HUGE job to me, between getting the content moved and setting up the redirects to hopefully save the little goodness I still have from the old domain.
If anyone could point me to a step-by-step tutorial or give advice, I'd be very grateful.
Kim
