    Domain Change Ramifications

    So what are the ramifications of changing the domain name of a site? Will all the links currently out there change with domain name change? Is their a rewrite I could put in to forward links?

    Will google not like it?

    Thanks for the discussion...

    But, if the site is just one month old then would it really matter?

    I would also recommended to redirect it if your site since 1 month or less it's just 2 lines in your old site .htaccess
