So a few years ago I set up a website at allaboutthegames.net. Then I got a job which required me to give up working on the site so I sold the domain. To cut a long story short, the job came to an end and I set up the domain allaboutthegames.co.uk and started my site up again. Fast forward a couple of years and I've just bought allaboutthegames.net back from GoDaddy.
I'm about to forward all traffic sent to the .net domain to the .co.uk domain but there's tons of old .net pages indexed by the search engines and I'd still like those links to work. The structure of my site's URL is exactly the same as it was before it's just I now use the .co.uk domain instead of the .net.
So an example url is
www.allaboutthegames.co.uk/feature_story.php?headline=1111
Is there anything I can do to make w ww.allaboutthegames.net/feature_story.php?headline=1111
forward to the previous url?
At first I started looking in PHP but then I realised that PHP is server side and the site history client side so I'm not sure what's the best way of going about this?
One of the biggest obstacles as I see it is that the two domains are with two different companies, if I merged them together would that make it easier? Should my host offer an advanced forwarder that would let me configure the domain to forward exactly how I require it?
