301 redirect for Windows

How to do it?

[web_india]

I requested the hosts for my client's site to setup the 301 redirects for about 40 pages. The domain has not moved rather the file structure has been changed within the same domain so we need to point the old files to new ones as the older ones are indexed by search engines.

Problem is they dont know much about it and are asking me how to do this? Anyone knows how to setup the permanent redirects on Windows?

Changing the file structure does not require you to change the corresponding URI structure as well. There is no neccessary connection between those two name spaces. Use your webserver“s configuration to map the new file structure to the old URI structure.

If your web host support can lookup an .asp file during a 404 error, do a search for Smart 404 Handler (evolvedcode) on Google. The script will intelligently redirect either as a 302 (temporary) or 301 (permanent). There are no server changes required or any involvement from your web host except to configure your custom 404 page. All you have to do is add the forty URLs you want redirected within the script and you're done!
