Great post! Exactly what I needed. I just migrated my site from a subdomain and all my links were pointing back to my dev. I ran these 3 commands and Viola. Thank you so much.

Wordpress Blog…?
I keep trying to upload a custom header image on my wordpress blog but everytime I try the to choose a file… the “choose” button ,when the page loads, appears in the correct spot for a second and then moves lower down and a grey box appears over it and I can’t click on it..what is wrong? if it helps I have a mac and use safari as my browser..

Hey Elmot,

Blogger to wp is a little different but not too hard at all.

Let me know when you get there and I will help you out.

Hey Peter, thanks for the compliment.

If you ever do plan to sell your website I would advise doing the redirect a few months before and get all the links and Google indexing moved over before putting it up for sale. Plus always be honest with the buyer and let them know there is a 301 redirect set up and things.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing you around.

Hi Forrest,

This is great stuff and it may be useful to people like me whose domain name is my name. I often wondered if having my name as my domain name would hinder the eventful transfer or sale my website, if it happened. Well now I know and thanks to you.

This guide deals with that situation. It’s most likely you will just need to follow this guide and make sure you change the nameservers on the domain to that of the new host.

You certainly can move it to a sub domain… Let me know if you have any issues.

Hey Tom,

Thanks for stopping by.

If you use the 301 redirect on the old domain then all old traffic will be redirected to the new domain and also Google will feed through the link juice.

I didn’t lose any traffic when I updated this blog.

Great info, thanks for sharing! If a blog is brand new there is no harm in moving it to a new domain name because you have no traffic at that point anyway.When it comes to an old established blog I would be more careful and probably not do it, you would lose a lot of traffic and your ranking would suffer from it.I would instead build a brand new blog with the new domain name.
