Fadion Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 A 301 header and a redirect would do the job perfectly. Just create a blank .php file in your old website and write: <?php header('HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently'); header('Location: http://www.yournewsite.com/'); ?> or the shorter (by 1 line ) version <?php header('Location: http://www.yournewsite.com/', true, 301); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239185-redirect-problem/#findComment-1228926 Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1291 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 This may not be what your looking for but could you not just use your .htaccess file to permanently redirect your old domain to your new domain therefore anyone trying to access for example http://www.olddomain.com would be redirected to http://www.newdomain.com.

redixx Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Does the free domain have some sort of URL masking enabled? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239185-redirect-problem/#findComment-1229699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
