"The tricky part when moving WordPress blog to another location is that WordPress is using absolute path in URL link instead of relative path in URL link location when stores some parameters in database. Within blog posts’ contents itself, users may also use the old URLs when creating reference backlinks. All these values in the database will need to be changed when WordPress is moved. The following guide will show you which database fields that has references or values related to blog’s URLs that you want to modify. Note that this guide is not about how to move WordPress blog from one server or host to another new hosting service."

"Ever wanted to have a system in place that allows you to easily “switch on” a holding page for the whole of your site for when you need to do some maintenance? Well, that’s relatively easy to do; but what about bots? Even if you’re only down for 10 minutes, what if your luck is such that Googlebot makes its random rounds at precisely that time? Depending on how you’re holding page works, it might register a load of “404 – Not Found” errors, or replace your indexed content with your holding page… Who knows? Not I."
"Have you just changed your domain name and now would like to redirect every link on the old domain name to a reciprocal link on the new domain, something like, http://olddomain.com/existing-link to http://newdomain.com/existing-link? Normally you can use the temporary redirection error (302) or permanent redirection error (301) in your .htaccess file to redirect every visitor of the old domain to the new domain."
