OPTIMISATION AND UTILITY
Redirect old domain to new domain
I read here:
https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/admin-tools/optimisation-and-utility.html
your advise for redirecting old domain to new when moving a website.
I have however always previously taken the following steps when moving a website from an old domain to a new one.
I have moved the website to a new hosting account (new domain) and replaced the old website on the old hosting account (old domain) with a 301 Redirect (added to a solitary htaccess file).
My questions
Does using the HTACCESS MAKER in the PRO version of Akeeba Admin Tools mean that there is no need to add the above htaccess file in place of the website on the old hosting account?
What if a user were to have done the above and to add the old domain in the 'redirect old domain to new domain' field?
Thanks for your time.
