      My company is purchasing www.boughtsite.com. This new site has multiple sub-domain sites: customsite1.boughtsite.com, customsite2.boughtsite.com, etc.

      1. Is it possible to redirect everything from www.boughtsite.com to www.mycompanysite.com while leaving the other sub-domain sites active? These other sites have different audiences than our main site.

      2. Would it be an okay solution to just place a link on boughtsite.com to mycompanysite.com telling visitors "We have been re-branded to  My Company"

      3. Can I use an i-frame to move customsite1.boughtsite.com to www.mycompanysite.com/customsite1 instead?

      Thanks for your input!

        1. Is it possible to redirect everything from www.boughtsite.com to www.mycompanysite.com while leaving the other sub-domain sites active? These other sites have different audiences than our main site.

        Yes. You can redirect anywhere from a single URL to the whole website. You can certainly redirect the www subdomain.

        2. Would it be an okay solution to just place a link on boughtsite.com to mycompanysite.com telling visitors "We have been re-branded to  My Company"

        If you redirect the www subdomain, where will you place this link? You mentioned the subdomains will remain active and have different audiences so the link does not seem to be helpful there. The www domain will be redirected so no one will ever see the page.

        3. Can I use an i-frame to move customsite1.boughtsite.com to www.mycompanysite.com/customsite1 instead?

        Can you? Sure. But why would you want to? What are you trying to achieve with the iframe?
