This site has been created to host redirects from sites that are no longer active.

The following procedure can be followed.

Set up the new domain

• Login to redirect cpanel host. The user name and password are in infokeep for chost1.is
• Create a new parked domain with the same name as your old site
• Create a new redirect from the parked domain page to point to the new site

Note that parked domains, when used in this way, can be thought of as server aliases. Also the domain root of each parked domain can be left as the default value.

Wherever OLD.DOMAIN appears in the following text it needs to be replaced with the old domain name you are trying to redirect away from.

Test it

• Change your /etc/hosts (unix) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) file by adding the following line:
  129.215.10.97 OLD.DOMAIN
• Try and go to the old domain within your browser
• If it doesn't work then try a wget -S OLD.DOMAIN to find out what is happening

Request the domain change

• Open a new Unidesk call or a sub call of the orginal request and ask for the DNS to be updated as follows:

  Can we please have the DNS updated to point OLD.DOMAIN at chost1.is.ed.ac.uk (129.215.10.97) instead of its current value.
  
  It's fine for this one to propagate overnight.
