    If we transfer our domain from old to new, then your all backlinks will not work and it will get rank. Because you are now going to running a new website and old one will be useless so all links also will be useless here. So you will have to create the backlinks for the same.

      That's just BS.....in the real world for real companies and real websites.

      If the OP had a real company, dang straight they would have some "employee" or service that did this shtuff.

      You obviously cannot do this yourself, as you would not be asking this.

      So hire someone.

      All backlinks will work, yada yada yada.

      You will lose domain age, but who gives a flyin' squirrel? Well, you won't lose domain age on the old one...

      And nobody should care anything about domain authority.

    Do a 301 redirect for all old links to the new links and you will be fine, You wont lose any rankings.

    I think that all you need now is mass 301 redirects.

    Mass 301 redirect stands for permanent mass redirect to a new site, whether it is another root domain URL, or a complete domain. It is also known that as the most efficient one, due that transfers/pass all the link juice to the new URL.

    you can use the 301 redirect for the domain to transfer your old backlinks and traffic to the new Domain.

    I totally agree that redirect will help you to solve this issue. I have had such experience before. I host my site with hostwinds and their team explained me everything and helped me with that issue. Now everything works good.

    These kind of questions are really weird to hear from users who have websites and done SEO before.

        I guess you did not notice you were talking to SEONinja, or else you do not know what a Ninja is, huh? Surely, if a ninja at SEO spouts stuff that seems stupid it must be that it's beyond our understanding, no?

        Ah, just look on the bright side: SEOninja ain't selling SEO (yet).

    Redirects are probably the most important part of any migration - they make sure both users and search engines are taken directly to your new site. If you use permanent 301 redirects, you'll ensure that most of the value from your old pages is passed onto the new ones.

    Hope this helps!
