I hunkered down for a whole night of trying to redirect people visiting http://www.blendedtechnologies.com/justoneclubcard/ over to my new domain www.justoneclubcard.com. I wanted everything inside of it like http://www.blendedtechnologies.com/justoneclubcard/index.py and even including all those CGI GET paramters to seamlessly be transferred over to the new domain.
Well, I did it, and it was easy!, Check those links in the last paragraph if you don’t believe me
This site explained it best. Ultimately it was as simple as adding the following line to my .htaccess file in my root directory of the Blended Technologies website:
Redirect /justoneclubcard http://www.justoneclubcard.com/
Optional Explaination
So the line above is saying to send any browser requesting the directory /justoneclubcard over to http://www.justoneclubcard.com/. And /justoneclubcard corresponds to the external URL of http://www.blendedtechnologies.com/justoneclubcard/. The .htaccess file just doesn’t need to see the http://www.blendedtechnologies.com/ part because that’s what / means to it.
If you’re not familiar with the .htaccess file, here’s a good primer to get you started.
