Default Re: Changing Domain Names

You can migrate quite safely but you may have to ride out bumps.

Make sure to follow the following steps.

Set up new domain and secure hosting.

Load site pages to new domain hosted account.

Add .htaccess file with 301s completed.

Change DNS settings at registar.

Make sure site is live.

Allow spiders to crawl.

Pull old site pages down once site is propagated.

You can handle any Google-Mediabot issues via robots.txt file

User-agent: AdsBot-Google

disallow: /
