Redirects on a Windows Server

I have redesigned a website and moved it from a CMS system to a Windows server using .asp

The old pages are .aspx and I need to know the best way to redirect them. I could just create exact name pages in the new site to match the old site, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it.

Should I just use some redirect code? I have used .htaccess files in the past on a Linux server, but understand doesn't work on a Windows server.

Can someone please give me the best SEO option?

Thanks,

Cathy

  • I'm not at all familiar with Windows servers, but you can do the equivalent of an htaccess redirect. As long as you are redirecting with code 301 (permanent change) then all SEO "link juice" will carry over.

    Sorry I can't offer more specific help.

  • Best option is this one: ISAPI_Rewrite 3 - Apache .htaccess mod_rewrite compatible module for IIS

    Easy to work without making tons of static pages for the redirects. The only problem is that some shared hosts won't let you use it as it must be installed on the server. Check with your host. Also you must use the paid version for servers hosting multiple sites (like a shared host ;-)
