Domain name transfer and photo links

Panamint Charlie · #1 07-08-2005, 06:53 AM

OK I've still got my old site panamintcharlie.com running with my other host. I've registered panamintcharlie.net with vodahost. I am rebuilding panamintcharlie from the ground up.

My question is this.

Once I have the new site completed and I transfer panamintcharlie.com over here will old search engine links and hot links from other sites be redirected to the new vodahost site? Givin that I saved my files with the same URLs as they were with the old provider.

Thanks,
Charles

Nothing changes, everything will work as normal.

OK I'm back.

My .com address just transfered today and I have it forwarded to the .net address. How can I make the .com address be the main address on my account?

The reason is this. All my web links and search results point to the .com address. Now if I click on a link, Lets say panamintcharlie.com/tripreports.html instead of going to the .net/tripreports.html it simply redirects to the .net index page.

With Blue Voda my pages get saves as .net. how can I save them as .com?

Thanks for all the help. I've still got a lot to learn but I think this program works very well.

When you added panamintcharlie.com as an add-on domain you probably set it up as a redirect, so it no sends people to your .net index page! Remove the redirect and you should have no problems!

Thanks for the reply, Sarah

I tried removing the redirect and now any .com link points to a index directory. The directory shows a parent directory and a cgi-bin.

What can I do to just save all my pages as panamintcharlie.com instead of panamintcharlie.net? If I can do that, I will be happy.

Thanks again,
Charles

Hi, when I go to your account I see that the redirection is still there! If you require more help please open a support ticket!

I put the redirect back so I would not lose visitors. I'll fiddle with it a little more before I open a ticket.

Thanks

OK I figured out my link redirect problem.

When I set up the redirect I forgot to add a / to the end of the redirected URL. Now my links point to their respective pages instead of the index page.

Now how can I set blue Voda to save my pages as .com instead of .net?

Happy Trails

Simply publish to the right spot! Go to the below to learn how to publish to an add-on domain:

The directions are in the text below the movie!

Thanks for all the help, Sarah. I've got it now.

After three years at homestead it's taking me a little time to figure out this new way of doing things.

Homestead was really simple. like a Ford Pinto. Blue Voda and the C Panel is like a Cadillac. Smooth and easy to drive, but with loads of great options.
