Hello love :wink:



I use CPanel to do so - > Redirects. You can do Temporary or Permanent redirections. File, files, folders with or without www. See below.

Hi,



thanks, but I need nothing to redirect. The question is:



“Which method of redirecting would you use?”

P.S. How big would be your htaccess file if you put 5,000 links in?
Or did you mean a simply 301?

Bloody huge, that and SLOW. Every page request gets read from the .htaccess files first. 5000 lines of code + original page weight = nightmare.:twisted:

If you have a huge of pages and rebuild your page structure ( I don’t mean when you move your site to other domain) and your new page e.g. looks like:



Before: http://www.mysite.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=63451After: http://www.mysite.com/newreply-in-your-article/
then you can use only 404 redirect.
