Sorry for the late response. The new server will run web services (IIS or
whatever). Then you will simply create a website on the new server (give the
web site the same name as the one you had on te original server). Create an
html like the one listed below:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30;url=http://new.ip.add.ress/">
<title>
We have moved
</title>
</head>
<body>
We have just moved to a new, better home in order to be able to provide more
robust services to you, our loyal customers. <br>
We will now forward you to our new home in 30 seconds.<br>
Thank you
</body>
</html>
name this index.html or default.html or whatever the default doc for your
web site is called.
You can also do the redirection right from the website "home directory"
properties in IIS, but that is usually less friendly (chatty
)
