Google is indexing our old domain
-
We changed our primary domain from vivitecsolutions.com to vivitec.net. Google is indexing our new domain, but still has our old domain indexed too. The problem is that the old site is timing out because of the https:
Thought on how to make the old indexing go away or properly forward the https?

Hi
You need to 301 redirect all of the teh pages on the old domain to the new. This will also forward the link equity from any backlinks you had pointing at the old domain.
Just as teh developer to add them in Htaccess.

Looks like you took Nigel's excellent advice and have implemented the redirects. That's great.
I did notice however, that you're redirecting vivitecsolutions to www.vivitec and then www.vivitec to vivitec (without the www subdomain). I suggest you get rid of the middle redirect and go directly from vivitecsolutions to vivitec. The redirect "chain" unnecessarily slows your site.
