    Is it possible for vBSEO to help with this?

    Hi all

    Here's the scenario, we want to buy from someone, Website A currently on Domain A, transfer and then setup a fresh Domain B, copy the database from Website A, to Website B, then install vBSEO on Website B, and then redirect any requests to Website A, to the relevant forum posts on Website B?

    Bit of a mouthful, but hopefully you know what I mean.

    Yes - if you move the database from A to B and re-active the forum with vBSEO, you can add a custom htaccess redirect on the old domain to redirect all traffic (via 301) to the new one.

    This will work for you:
    301 Redirect from Domain Folder to Domain

    Add it on Site A. Change the URL to the domain for site B.

    Just if anyone else needs this on a windows server:

    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
    
    #Permanent redirect to update old links
    RewriteRule (.+) http://www.yourdomain.net/$1 [R=301,L]
