There are situations where you have to change the name of the blog. Choose the name of the site correctly, do not make mistakes, because they can subsequently affect the further promotion of the resource.

Step 1
Sometimes a domain name registration or change occurs after some kind of reorganization or transfer of ownership. Also, a possible reason for changing the name of the blog is poor indexing of the site or the imposition of a filter on it. You can fix these mistakes by continuing to buy links and write unique articles. But it can take a long time before the situation changes. Nobody likes to simply waste money and time without getting any guarantees and results. This is why it is easier to change the name of your blog. To do this, transfer the site to a new domain that you previously selected. Go through the registration procedure on the hosting and register the DNS, waiting for the delegation.
Step 2
Next, bind the name to the resource on the hosting. Then configure the rediket itself. To do this, write in the.htaccess file located in the root folder of the site, this is: RewriteRule (. *) Http: //site-name.ru/$1 [R = 301, L] RewriteEngine onOptions + FollowSymLinks Now users and bots who follow obsolete addresses will be automatically redirected to new ones.
Step 3
Add the new URL to your robots.txt file. Add the domain to Yandex. Webmaster and Google Webmaster. The idea behind this is to feed the search engines the old and the new sitemap. The former will allow you to speed up the process of indexing pages that are not in the old blog, and the latter will allow you to load all the pages that are outdated with a configured 301 redirect. All this will help to update the index faster.
Step 4
Set up a 404 page for the old domain. Indicate that the site has changed its address. Now, after completing all the steps to change the domain name, you will only have to wait for the moment of reindexing all pages and control the appearance of all kinds of errors that may arise at any time.
