I have a baby/toddler's clothing website and need to change the name. The trademark office just rejected my mark and after speaking to many different sources, I was advised to change the name.

My current website is www.babyisis.com. If someone types in that web address, is there a way it can be forwarded to a different address - www.bamboobabyny?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,
Aimee

if you still own both url's you can just put a redirect page on the first one.

On the index page of babyisis.com ut this tag in the heading:
<META
http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.bamboobabyny.com">


You should then put a direct link on the page saying something like If you are not redirected to the site in 5 seconds, click here.


Thats what I would do

If you have access to the .htaccess file, you can also try this (http://www.isitebuild.com/301-redirect.htm)
