I can do 301 redirects on Apache no problem, but I've never had to do it on a Windows server before and I'm having some problems.
I have a domain hosted by Fasthosts and I need a 301 redirect to a domain hosted elsewhere. Both domains are on shared hosting. According to Fasthosts FAQ I should be able to do this in my Dashboard, but the option doesn't appear.
I've just spent over an hour on the phone to them. First they were trying to get me to change the DNS records which obviously wasn't going to work. Eventually I got through to someone and they said they would do it for me. I double checked it was a 301 redirect they were doing and they confirmed it was.
The redirect now works, but they've done it by replacing the home page with this:
So basically the new site is running in a frame on the old domain. This breaks some of the stuff on the new site, and presumably there are SEO implications as well.
Their support seems next to useless, so can anyone advise if there is a another way I can do a 301? Is there any code I can add to pages to force a 301 redirect?
Cheers.
