Hi all, I am not a web (or SEO) guy, but I manage our DNS and have for a long time.
The boss has contracted with a web development company to do a full redesign of our website. Our website has hundreds of thousands of pages, and years of SEO behind it. The guys who was her until recently was adamant that we must be very carefl with the redesign so as not to totally break SEO, and possibly getting blacklisted by Google. The web developers are insisting that they need full access to our DNS (hosted by DNSMadeEasy), and the only reason I can think of for this is they plan on setting up HTTP redirects (DNSMadeEasy equivalent of a 301 redirect) for these pages - but hundreds of thousands of them? Wouldn't this be better done at the web server level? Or am I just ignorant? Would love to hear experiences (good and bad), and a recommendation for what I should do. thanks
