301 Redirects for IDX Pages After a Domain Change

If your domain name changes, IDX Broker does not automatically create 301 redirects for your IDX pages. However, you can configure redirects manually using the steps below.

In this example, the domain is being changed from:

demo.idxbroker.com

to:

demo.idxdevelopers.com

Steps

1. Delete the existing CNAME record for the old domain.

2. Create the old domain as a subdomain on your hosting account.

   Example:

   demo.idxbroker.com
   

3. Install an SSL certificate for the old subdomain.
4. If your server is using Apache, add the following rule to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) https://demo.idxdevelopers.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This will permanently redirect all traffic from the old IDX domain to the new domain while preserving the page path.

Notes

• The SSL certificate is important to avoid browser security warnings on HTTPS traffic.
• This redirect should be configured on the old domain or subdomain hosting environment.
• The $1 in the rewrite rule preserves the requested URL path during the redirect.
