One of the services I've sold more than once was to handle the "offlining" of a domain. Basically provide a 307/404/410 service and make sure it works for a long time before the name gets released. Basically to help clean up on the way out.
- amatecha 5y agowhy 307 (temporary) and not 308 (permanent)? (curious about this as when I used to work on a ton of company websites and migrate from old sites, there'd always be a big process of setting up a ton of 301 (permanent) redirects)
- kosayoda 5y agoAs both the post topic and the parent comment topic are about domain changes, wouldn't that basically direct users of the old site on the domain to a totally different domain when they want to access the new site on the same domain?
- amatecha 5y agoIt could.. it all depends how the redirects are set up. You can use 301/308 redirect for either new page/path or new domain, or both. It's pretty flexible. If you're interested to learn more, Google has a pretty good "best practices" page at https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/301-redirects https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/...
- edoceo 5y agoSorry, just a typo from the brain. It's a config option - with a few in the 300 series, mostly choosing a permanent option
- amatecha 5y agoAhh cool, I see! All good, was curious if there was some new special technique maybe I hadn't heard about, haha :)
