How to change the domain of the website

The domain name or the name of the website in network is its address. If to change it, then the resource can drop out of the index of search engines and, as a result, lose practically all traffic. There are several receptions for change of the name of a resource without prejudice to attendance.

Instruction

1. For saving in the index of searchers of all pages of your resource you need to configure a redirect of its pages on similar with the new domain. For this purpose transfer all content to the new domain which you should buy and configure beforehand there the DNS server. After delegation you need to tie the new name of your resource to the old website.

2. Carry out redikt. Find in the root directory of the website the file under the name .htaccess and register in it this: Options +FollowSymLinksRewriteEngine onRewriteRule (. *) http://имя_нового_сайта.ru/$1 [R=301,L] After you perform this procedure, the search engines and all users following the links to the old address of your website will be automatically redirected to the new address.

3. For indexation by Google and Yandex search engines add the new domain to Google.Webmaster and Yandex. Webmaster. For implementation of faster reindexation make so that search engines saw your scheme of the website both with new, and with the old addresses. On the homepage for this purpose place the link to it. The scheme of a resource with the old addresses gives the chance to update pages on which the redirect is configured. The new scheme will give the chance to index the pages created after change of the name of a resource.

4. Then make so that the user when passed to the old address of the website, got on page 404 on which it would be specified that the resource changed the name and it has a new address now.

5. After carrying out all these operations you will need only to wait for that moment when search engines index a resource. If you performed all operations correctly, then key indicators of the website – titsa and public relations - will not exchange. However change of the domain is very serious step therefore before carrying out it, properly think.
