Move a blog from a domain to a new domain in the same hosting server
-
I have the need to find the best solution to move my viverezen.org blog on new domain naturazen.org because somebody stolen my brand. Now I registererd brand NaturaZen and I am going to use this website as main and have the old viverezen just to point in the new website
I dont want lose autority and more important I dont want lose the 500 visits I have everyday.
Both domain are under same hosting company
What is best SEO solution you can give me to help?
I thought to point the hosting on new domain naturazen and put all link with redirect 301 on viverezen but probably I am wrong

thanks for your help

HI-
I think you are correct in that you need to do a 301 redirect from the old site to the new one. If the pages are the same between the two domains I believe something like the following in your htaccess would work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]I am not an htaccess expert, so try before you buy!Good luckKen

Great input by Ken, wanted to embellish. 301 redirects are key (talk with your developer or host on best way with your setup on how to implement) Google Search Console actually has a "change of address" option to help you migrate. There is also a step by step tutorial https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6033049?hl=en
Good luck!
