Question

I am moving hosts and i have been advised to set up a redirect whilst the DNS changes are being progressed. The site structure on my new server is identical to my current server so all i need is the base url changed. E.g.

http://www.mysite.com/Category1

Will redirect to:

http://[my new ip address]/Category1

Help is really appreciated

Thanks

Paul

Try something like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^www\.mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://1.2.3.4/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
