Need to move my site .com.x to .com
My hosting gives me "add domain" that is I can set up with 1 control panel 2 domains.

I plan to copy the positioned .com.x site to my new domain .com and set a 301 redirect from the old positioned site .com.x to the new one .com

Will that be google friendly?
If it works then I can take down the old site...

But is there any problem with that?

Yes, you can go ahead and move the existing website to the new domain and put a

redirect 301 / [newdomain.com...]
or if possible a redirect for all individual pages. That would be perfect.

That ways, somebody visiting yourolddomain.com/spacialpage.html can be directed to newdomain.com/specialpage.html or newdomain.com/folder/whatever.html and that would be more targetted and better for you.

One time efforts, but resulting better for you longrun.

seems like the add domain feature on my hosting means a subdomain that looks like a domain...

I guess that is dangerous, since I had bad experiences in the past when added a subdomain. Google penalized for "duplicated content"...

May that happen this time?

My hosting response:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
An Add Domain is just an additiona domain

If you have: www.****.com, but you have another www.yyy.com and you want to host it too

You can add from control panel: www.yyy.com

That will be a SUBDOMAIN OF xxx.com like this: [yyy.xxx.com,...] but you will see from your browser: www.yyy.com pretending is not a subdomain

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What do you say in this case? Should I proceed or just buy another hosting?
