Ask How can OVH domain redirection be done?

[Brajet]

You can create a DNS CNAME or A record to point your old domain to a new server or hosting environment. This approach simply reroutes domain resolution, meaning visitors will land on the new server when typing in the old domain. However, it's important to understand that DNS-level changes do not perform actual HTTP redirects. They do not inform web browsers or search engines that content has permanently moved, so no SEO value is passed. As a result, search engines will treat the old and new domains as separate entities, potentially causing a loss in rankings and visibility. For proper SEO migration, always use server-side 301 redirects, which explicitly tell search engines that content has moved permanently and help preserve your search traffic.

With OVH, redirecting your domain is mostly a few clicks away. Inside your domain management section, there's an option for redirection where you can choose 301 for permanent redirects. It's easy for entire domains, but if you want subdomain or page-specific redirects, you'll have to configure it directly through your hosting files or server rules for better flexibility.

etting up domain redirection with OVH is a pretty straightforward process. First, log into your OVH account and navigate to the domain management section. From there, select the domain you want to redirect and choose the "Redirection" option. Then just enter the URL you want to redirect to - this can be another domain you own or an external website. OVH gives you the choice between a permanent 301 redirect or a temporary 302 redirect, so be sure to select the 301 option to properly signal to search engines that the domain has permanently moved. Once you save the changes, the redirection will be all set up on OVH's end
