I was wondering if it was possible to somehow notify users when they visit the web site hosting using the old domain name, to update their bookmarks to the new web site hosting and then redirect them. Don't want to lose anyone when the old domain expires!
Also is there anyway to check when a domain is due to expire? Can't see a manage domain option like our last host had. Want to make sure it is set to expire.
Thanks all. |
The simplest way to do this is to place the old domain as an add on domain on your
web hosting account and set its index page to a page which informs the user to update there bookmarks. Then you can use a simple bit of javascript to automatically redirect them to the new domain name, which will display your site.
For any domains registered through eUKhost you can check there status, whois info and expiry dates along with much more information at
UK Web Hosting - Affordable Business and Personal Web Web site hosting Hosting - eUKhost . Then just type in your registered e-mail address and password and you will be into your own members area where you can administer your account, hosting and domains.
Hope that helps
