Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am not a web (or SEO) guy, but I manage our DNS and have for a long time. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The boss has contracted with a web development company to do a full |
| 6 |
redesign of our website. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Our website has hundreds of thousands of pages, and years of SEO behind |
| 9 |
it. The guys who was her until recently was adamant that we must be very |
| 10 |
carefl with the redesign so as not to totally break SEO, and possibly |
| 11 |
getting blacklisted by Google. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The web developers are insisting that they need full access to our DNS |
| 14 |
(hosted by DNSMadeEasy), and the only reason I can think of for this is |
| 15 |
they plan on setting up HTTP redirects (DNSMadeEasy equivalent of a 301 |
| 16 |
redirect) for these pages - but hundreds of thousands of them? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Wouldn't this be better done at the web server level? Or am I just ignorant? |
| 19 |
|

Would love to hear experiences (good and bad), and a recommendation for |
| 21 |
what I should do. |
| 22 |
|

thanks |
