I would like to redirect traffic from my old website to my new website. It's actually the same content but I've got a new domain name as well as a new web hosting service. How difficult is this to do? Are there any problems associated with doing this. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Just put this in-between <head> and </head> section of your old site:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="x; url=URL">

Replace x with how how many seconds it should take to transfer (0 for immediate transfer), and replace URL with the URL of the new site

Thanks Matt. I'm going to give that a try in the next day or two.

If you are using Cpanel Hosting, you can do it at your Control Panel. It is easy, fast and without modify any of your Webpages. Just do a redirect of your public_html directory to the domain your new website.
