New Domain – SteakOverCooked.com

As of today 2/Jan/2016, I have registered the domain steakovercooked.com as one of the new-year gift to myself. I intended to use this domain to replace my first domain (registered in 2006).Back at 2006, I didn’t pick the right domain in terms of good SEO.

overcooked steak

Why Steak Over Cooked?

You must have heard of stackoverflow.com, which is the largest Q&A for programmers worldwide. Steak-Over-Cooked does sound a bit similar and it rhythms as well.

I have registered the steakovercooked.com for ten years (current expiry to 2026-Jan-02). I love this new name simply because it rocks!

301 Redirects

I have first copied the entire folder for old domain to the new one, configure the path in Apache2 properly, and removed entire folder in the old domain. Finally, I put a .htaccess file only in the root directory of the old domain to do a 301 permanent redirect.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^helloacm.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.helloacm.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://steakovercooked.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

Google Webmasters

Using Google Webmaster, you can transfer your ranks from old domain to new one easily.

Others

CloudFlare CDN, Google Analytics, replacing old links with the new one etc. For example, running the following SQL statement should get you quickly replacing all the old domains in the articles to the new one.

update `wp_posts` set `post_content` = replace(`post_content`, 'helloacm.com', 'steakovercooked.com');

I am starting to use SteakOverCooked as my internet username. And my email would be Oh AT steakovercooked.com
