301 redirects - how long to keep old site hosting go?

Hello. We have a company that is about to rebrand itself, so it gets a new website and a new as well domain name, both are sites of Business Catalyst. I did some reading on this and think that I know everything that I have to make about 301 redirects, etc. in order to not lose search ranking. One thing I'm unclear on if, after placing the 301 redirects to direct traffic to the new content to the site, how long the old place accommodation had to be kept going? I read 3 months to a year to keep the 301 redirects in place to ensure indexing.

I plan to redirect 301 pages from the old site to the new site and then after 3 months (assuming that any good) drop the former host of site (only for reasons of cost at this point) and add the domain name to the new site and will forward it to the new domain name. Can anyone confirm that this is a healthy approach to please, or let me know of any problems they see in my simple plan.

Thank you

Grant

3 months should be plenty. Make sure you submit the "Change of address" form within the webmaster tools. I think that Katherine Anderson recently made a Sandpile BC on it.

  • How long to migrate old Mac to new Mac?

    I'm migrating my old Mac to my new Mac. I'm in year of transfer stage information for 3 hours now. How long does take the migration?

    You ask a good question on migration data from an older Mac to a new. The answer, of course, is "it depends."

    Relevant issues-

    The amount of data is moved? More data takes more time for obvious reasons.

    How the two computers are connected? Wired Ethernet connections are generally faster than using a Wi - Fi connection.

    What is the speed of the network?

    That being said, I saw data transfers take more than 3 hours several times.

    Good luck.

  • HS SX60 - how long to keep the settings without main battery

    SX60 HS does not keep date/time settings and seems other setting too when the main battery is taken out for charging. How long camera must retain parameters without main battery? I sent the unit for repair, had refirbished with the same problem - memory loss.

    Should I continue to send the camera for repair under warranty until Canon will do something reasonable? Or return the money for that camera?

    The internal date and time battery should load up in 4 hours with a charged battery installed. Then it must retain the date and time for about 3 weeks once loaded and the battery removed.

    If this is not done or pretty close to that, then by all means send it back for repair or replacement or refund.

    To my knowledge, that is not a chronic problem with the SX60 so in all liklihood, you have a faulty they need repair.

  • How can I keep old emails to download after you have configured the address

    I just install a professional e-mail address on thunderbird but don't need the 7000 + old emails to download from the server
    How can I avoid this?

    If it's gmail, visit their Web site and search for the function 'recent '.

    Otherwise, and I guess that it is IMAP, he's just doing what it is supposed to do; show you what is on the server. Your best choice is to go to the website of the provider of messaging, place messages you don't need to see their own records and not to subscribe to those folders in Thunderbird.

    If it's POP, a new account in Thunderbird does not know what you have seen before, so just of gets it everything. Beware, it will almost certainly move all messages from the server to the client, then don't start immediately remove things. The 'other files' technique described for IMAP should work here too, as POP sees no folders on the server other than the Inbox.

  • How do you keep a site at random to open automatically when you add a new tab?

    When I click to open a new tab (with plus sign), this Web site automatically opens: http://www.searchqu.com/web?src=derr & appid = 113 & systemid = 406 & q = http %3 A % 2F % 2F and says "search for: Oops! the website you were looking for no could be opened. "I tried the new URL extension with the home page selected and tried other tips related here. None of this does not work. I clean my system with the AVG software and malware. etc etc. also, sometimes I'll be on a website and it switch to this site randomly and keep me to access the right pair. Help!

    Hello, can you try setting the browser.newtab.url value to "on: newtab ' even once and then run firefox in safe mode, once (see Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to troubleshoot common Firefox) and see if the problem is occurring too... ther other users have reported that extensions like toolbars, Datamngr, ilivevid could be the cause of the issue - take a look in firefox > addons > extensions and uninstall them or any other entry suspect where it shows up.

    Please also delete any entry in the section of /programmes. control panel windows which refers to searchqu and may also use other security like the free version of malwarebytes software to do a full scan of your system.

  • How can I keep old preferences in a re - install?

    I use DW CS4, Windows operating system. I just bought a new computer and decided to bring my preferences (info, ftp site, office, custom, etc) in my re - install, so I don't have to spend an hour, making it the way I want. Where preference files? No matter what reason I can't just copy it into the new computer once I installed DW? Does make a difference that I'm switching from Windows XP to Win7?

    Thank you!

    On Windows, site definitions are stored in the Windows registry. The easiest way to migrate your site from a computer definitions is to export, copy the files to the new computer .ste and import. See backup and restore site definitions.

    Most of the preferences are also stored in the Windows registry, but implemented workspace are XML files that are stored in your personal configuration file. Instructions to locate the configuration file are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494812.

  • I've recently updated by BusinessCatalyst to webCommerce but now my old muse site will appear as a Webbasics, how to upgrade my old site without paying again for the upgrade of BC?

    I can start the new website in British Colombia, but man I got some and running will not be 'link' to my improved BC package

    This is because it only supports features that. It handles all the features of layout etc. You can fudge your way to use it to build with the higher planes, but it doesn't have access to a large number of features. So you must be aware of this.

  • How can I replace an old site (unknown host) with a new site of Muse?

    Here's my situation:

    I want to start by webdesign for more money while studying. Now, I did a nice site for a doctor (he is not yet informed) that actually has an ugly home page. So I intend to offer my website, including the replacement... but I don't have an idea how to replace an old site (leave a host I don't even know at this time, but I know...) with a new one.

    So my questions here:

    Should I ask him?

    What is the FTP?

    How can I replace the site?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Greetings,

    Vicky

    Hi Victoria,.

    If you are completely redefining the site, you can delete all files from the assistance of the host server, and then download a fresh site using the Muse ftp credentials.

    Kind regards
