Hey guys
I run a small free file hosting for people. and in the coruse of couple of years, it has gotten pretty big, so im changing hosts.

However I have a issue.
If I change hosts then the domain will change (subdomain).

I was wondering if its possible to redirect domains.
Ok for example.

Currently, I the upload page is at.
host.test.example.com
and the files hosted there are in
host.test.example.com/files/filename.txt

Now, I want it so that when a user goes to host.test.example.com it redirects them to
host.newexample.com.

and same with files.
So, if someone tries to access, host.test.example.com/files/filename.txt
I want it redirected to
host.newexample.com/files/filename.txt

Is it possible? I'm guessing I can do this with htaccess.
Btw, I have access to both hosts.

What server are you on.

I.E Apache IIS ???

If its the former you can use htaccess to do this. There are similar tools (I am led to beleive) for IIS so you should be able to get it done in either.

--> htaccess method

#domain to newdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}% ^host.test.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://host.newexample.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Dont quote me on this either but any URL that resolves to the old format will be changed to the new so tracing old domains should nbot be an issue. You will need to place this htaccess in your top level public_html dir.

Yes, I'm running apache, and I'm going to test this when I get home.
Thanks for the help man.
