Web Redirecting

[cambsno]

If I redirect a website I have to another website, will that just apply to the domain name, or all pages?

i.e. I direct www.xyz.com to www.abc.com, does that mean www.xyz.com/bumppictures will also be redirected or still visable?

youll probably get a 404 but will depend how youve done the "redirect".

Agreed, if you redirect via the index page on the original domain then the pictures subpage won't redirect. If you redirect via an include it may happen on all pages. Personally I would just point the old domain to the new domain via dns unless you want to display an intermediate page explaining it all.

Cheers. Will do that later, with 123-reg, assume its easy to do via DNS?

Very easy you should have a control panel to do that. Otherwise their customer support can do it.

Exactly right. In the 123-reg control panel, select your domain and then look for 'Web Redirection'.

It sounds like you are wanting to set up a '301' - permanent redirect.

It is quite easy to do and you can find full instructions here:
