I have a site that I just redid and some pages moved. My site is doing well in search engines and I want to set up a 301 redirect for those pages to the new pages. It's just a small static html site. It's hosted on GoDaddy on a windows box. The only things I can find for setting up a redirect are creating a .htaccess files (which isn't working - not sure why) and creating an .asp page (but since the original page wasn't an .asp page, it was an .htm page that won't work).

Does anyone know how I can setup a 301 redirect under these conditions? I posted this question in a couple places and no one seems to know.

Appreciate any feedback.

We have quite a few threads about IIS 301 [google.com] redirects that should help.

So if I don't have access to IIS I'm pretty much out of luck huh?

Not necessarily... There are several threads detailing the use of an ASP 301 redirect [google.com]. You could also check to see whether your host has ISAPI Rewrite [google.com] available.
