If you need to change the URL of a page as it is shown in search engine results, we recommend that you use a server-side 301 redirect. This is the best way to ensure that users and search engines are directed to the correct page. The 301 status code means that a page has permanently moved to a new location.

Below is the step by step process for 301 redirection.

Websites on Unix/Apache Servers

1. FTP into your website and in the root folder download then create a copy of the .htaccess file and save it in a backup folder so you can start from a working file if you make a mistake.
Note: If you cannot find your .htaccess in your FTP file list see this tutorial and if it does not help please contact your server administrator for help.

2. Now open the .htaccess in a program like Notepad++ (an excellent free program) and prepare to type on a new line at the bottom of the existing code.

3. Now put in the redirect based on the following example (pay close attention to the spacing between the words) redirect 301 /OldPage.html http://xyzname.com/NewPage.html

4. Save and Upload the file to your server and test the redirect by going to the old URL (i.e. www.xyzname.com/OldPage.html) and seeing if you are sent to the NewPage.html.

5. I also suggest being 100% certain a 301 redirect is being provided by using our free Server Header Checker Tool where you can copy and paste in the old address and to see for certain it is working properly.
