I’m not sure about plugins, you’d have to go hunting for that.

With regards to changing your domain, there’s nothing wrong with it so long as you redirect properly. If you’re keeping the same URL structure then that should just be one redirect statement. The trouble comes when you want to redirect from an old directory structure to a new one.

I have to say that this has certainly opened my eyes to something that I hadn’t really thought of as being a problem before. I wonder if there are plugins just for this purpose.

It makes me not want to change domains in a hurry, that’s for sure.

If you’re changing the domain name you should still work to build the redirects. If you don’t then it’s as if you’ve created a brand new website from scratch. If that’s ok with you, that’s fine but be sure you’re aware of what it’s going to cost.

I was changing structure from copperred.net/kukish to kukish.copperred.netsome time ago for my lineage2 blog. There were more than hundreds of this redirection rules in my configuration files. But now my friend is thinking on changing domain name at all, and i think it will be hard for me to put such number of redirects again.

If you’ve moved to new blogger for your blogging blog you might not realize that it’s now possible to do a proper 301 redirect to your own domain from the old blogger address. More on that here
