I had a site running with url "http://domain-a.com
". Now the server running that site is decommisioned and all the contents are moved to another site with url "http://domain-b.com
".
What I want is, in case anyone try to use the old site url (with a bookmark or some printed text) then I want them to get redirected to the new site, with new site's URL appearing in their browser address bar.
The developer told me that he maintained a HTML page with META http-equiv="refresh" content="...."
tag to perform a HTML redirection.
But now the server running the site is powered down but I still want the same redirect experience for the user, at least for few more months. Is here any way I can achieve this without a target server where the old url points to?
I assume there is no way I can achieve this using CNAME record as I really want he new URL to be seen on the user's browser bar.
Thank you
Arun
