      I am moving a site with great SEO and tons of pages to a new platform. Page names will all be different because they will not have the .html ending and names will change. It is on a system that does not support .htaccess.

      So, I don't have a way to do 301 redirects.

      How can I keep my competitive status?

      Thank you!!

        IIS? If so there is a way of doing that as well. Some good tutorials out there. Should be a simple way of doing it if the pages are the same - the html. Sorry--not well versed in IIS. I strongly recommend getting this done prior to launch to maintain those rankings as best as possible.

            If it's a system that doesn't support .htaccess, it's likely IIS as Kevin said. That said, when you say:

            So, I don't have a way to do 301 redirects.

            ... This makes me wonder if it's not IIS (as 301s are possible with IIS, just in a different way, as Kevin outlines). It'd be good to confirm what your hosting environment is either way though, as it'd be hard for anyone to give a decent answer without knowing this.
