[WEB4LIB] Re: Thanks for Website Redirect Help

[Andrew Stevens]

Molly,

You might be able to contact the maintainer for the lib.me.us domain
and have requests for your old site forwarded to the new one.

It looks like the contact for the lib.me.us domain is
kerry at maine.maine.edu (taken from the list at
<http://www.nic.us/register/delegated_subdomains.txt>).

Also, the registrar for me.us is NeuStar <http://www.neustar.us/>).
Their site has some good information on .us domains.

If you are able to get access to your old server space, placing
something like the following text in a file named .htaccess in the root of
your old server space can redirect the traffic.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.waterboro\.lib\.me\.us [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.waterborolibrary.org/$1 [R=301,L]


This may or may not work depending on whether the mod_rewrite module
is installed on the server.

Best of luck with the site move.
