Hi Ryan,

Even in WordPress Multisite?

I love a good White Board Friday thank you, I will definitely give that a watch.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your quick response. If I did use WordPress Multi-Site to build the subfolders for the different countries, would they pass "link juice" between them?

Hi, My company have offices around the world. However they also provide different services and products depending on the region. For example our offices in the USA, UK and Australia all provide different services to each other.

My question is, how do I set up my WordPress website up to cater for these different countries and services?

I think the simple answer would be to build a separate website for each, but this would be too costly and we don't have the resources to maintain all three.

Many thanks for your time,

Tom

I'm asking this question due to the following scenario:

When we have videos produced by Third Party video companies they upload the video to their YouTube account before us (the customer), has chance to upload it to ours.

If this was an article that was uploaded to the web then the website uploading it first would be classed as the original piece and all other website uploading the article would be considered duplicates and not rank (As I believe).

Hence my question, does YouTube work in the same way and hence our videos when searched in YouTube be secondary to our Third Party video companies as they are posting them first?

Regards,

Tom

Many thanks guys, I think I get what your saying.

From what I understand I could just do this...

I build up a new wordpress website on a different hosting account. Within the .htaccess file I create my 301's. Then once I point the domain from the old hosting and website to my new one everything should work fine?

Again many thanks for your help.

Hi guys,

Thanks for replying. Wondered however how you would get both the files to sit on the same hosting?

I know that windows can take both PHP and ASP.NET but I have heard that windows hosting for WordPress is not as straight forward as Linux. Is it still possible to perform 301 redirects for both sets of files in Linux?

Hi all,

I'm trying to migrate my current website over to wordpress however my current website is ASP.NET and obviously Wordpress uses PHP.

Is it possible to perform a 301 redirect from a asp.net to a php?

Or do you need to convert the asp.net language into php?

Or something different?

I welcome your thoughts?

I would like to migrate my current website, which is asp.net, to WordPress. However the current asp.net is sitting on hosting which is windows based and WordPress isn't very compatible.

Do I need to migrate hosting to a Linux based hosting provider? But if I do can I still migrate the asp.net files from my current website so I can 301 redirect?

Any help on this would be great.

Regards,

Tom

I think that WordPress.com is banned, but are websites that are created by WordPress get banned?

Thanks EGOL, Shane and Peter.

The good news is that we own the domain, what isn't so great is that we don't own the hosting (Big lesson learned here).

Some how I need to take control of the hosting.

Thanks everyone for all your help, I'm truly grateful.

Tom
