I'm in the making of changing my sites name and address to a .com, how can i do this without losing visitors or confusing people on my new domain. i already signed for many things with the old subdomain i use with topsites and such, what's the best option. site is http://openlite.5gigs.com

p.s how do i tell my affiliates and such to change their link address to the new one if they hardly come online anymore?

thanks.

<script language="javascript">
function checkurl()
{
var local = location.hostname;
if (local == "openlite.5gigs.com")
{
var location1 = "http://yourdomain.com" + location.pathname;
window.location = location1;
}
if (local == "www.openlite.5gigs.com")
{
var location1 = "http://yourdomain.com" + location.pathname;
window.location = location1;
}
}
</script>

Then change: <body> to: <body onload="checkurl();">

<?php
header("Location: http://www.your new domain here.com");
?>

just put that as index.php

on your current subdomain, put in the url there. don't tamper with anything else.

For html page, put the following code in between the "HEAD" tag:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh Content='0;url=http://www.newdomain.com'>

The javascript method will work if they are both on the same cPanel account. It also redirects subpages (Eg; got to: http://image.a2host.net/rules.php, you will be redirected to: http://imagetubes.com/rules.php)

But then html version is platform independant, I supposed?
