Trying to redirect entire subdirectory

equickxpress · #1 (**permalink**) 12-29-2004, 10:14 AM

Hello,

I have been re-designing my website and have moved it to another server and want to have all the links that are still out in Yahoo for example to now redirect to my main home page.

The original pages were in a subdirectory (*http://equickxpress.com/equicksports)* and I now want all those pages in that subdirectory to redirect all clicks to http://equicksports.com

Is this possible to redirect all page links at one time?

Thanks everyone for the help!

Contact your hosting company to see if they can do a 301 re-direct. Since you are on IIS, they should be able to do this for you for free.

Thank you, I will contact my hosting company and see what they can do! Would this type of redirect hurt my web page ranking at all?

No not a 301 re-direct since this is a permanent re-direct

In apache webserver you can define custom error page, which can redirect all requests to non-existent pages to custom page (that sends users to the place you want them to see).
Or if you have access to nameservers holding equickxpress.com, you can set it up so that all traffic to http://equickxpress.com/ redirects to http://equicksports.com
Other solutions might exist as well...
