Before You Start

Before changing your registrar settings, you must first complete several important tasks.

Move Content

If your old website includes text that was helping you rank well on search engines for competitive keyword phrases, move that text to similar pages on your new website.

If you store documents like PDFs, word documents, and slideshows on your old website, move that content to your Good Gallery website or to other online hosts.

Note: See the Storage section in the manual for additional information and alternative storage recommendations.

Move Your Blog

If you have a WordPress blog attached to your old website, move your old blog content to Good Gallery servers.

Warning: After you point your domain name to Good Gallery servers, you may not be able to easily access your old WordPress information.

See the WordPress section for additional information.

Create 301 Redirects

301 Redirects notify browsers and search engines that a page on your website has moved to a new location. 301 Redirects serve as a permanent forwarding address for old URLs.

When you build a new website, your page URLs change. If your old website was performing well for competitive search terms or if you have inbound links or bookmarks pointing to subpages, you may want to create 301 Redirects.

See the SEO section for additional information about 301 Redirects.

Confirm Domain

When you signed up for Good Gallery, you were asked to provide your domain name. If you did not provide your domain name or if you have changed your domain name preference, contact info@goodgallery.com and include your updated domain information.
