I use .com for my website as the .co.uk option was taken, but not being used by anyone.
Then this morning, I got a phone call from a particuarly arrogant person from nominet letting me know that .co.uk had become available and they wanted to offer it to me, for the princely sum of £100+vat for two years, oh, and garunteeing me page one of google of course.
I said it was fine, I'm not going to pay overinflated prices for it and said I would buy it myself elsewhere. At this point he tried telling me they had it held on their system and that it's fine if I didn't want it, he'll just go and sell it to someone else. Five minutes later I had bought it via my host for a fiver.
Anywho. I have updated my htaccess file to redirect the new .co.uk to my existing .com address. I already had these redirects in place.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^photographerinessex.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.photographerinessex\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^davidwalker-photography.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.photographerinessex\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.davidwalker-photography.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.photographerinessex\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
So I copied that to include the following.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^photographerinessex.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.photographerinessex\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.photgrapherinessex.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.photographerinessex\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
But, its not working. When I go to my .co.uk address, that's exactly what I see, I am not getting redircted to my .com
Is tere something stupid that I have missed? I cant see it!
