"deactivating a domain" - 12/8/2005 23:21:22   
I have a client that's business has grown tremendously and in the process of incorporating and has to change name slightly. As a result while redesigning website, also changing domain to match the new name.

Eventually they want to shut down the old domain, and wondering what would be the best way to handle this. Have some kind of message on old site with link to new and statement that site will turn off at a certain date?

Any input would be appreciated.

thanks,

Scott

You should consider using a 301 re-direct to the the website. And put something on the new website. This way, the SEs will still find you and spider your sebsite accordingly
