Reflush?

[bobbyboy]

Hi guys,
I had to clear cache and ip flush to get my domain to go from the x10.mx to my .com. Now some time later I see that the .com doesn't come up on a google search, but the x10.mx does? Do I re-clear the cashe and re-flush the ip to correct this? And how can I keep this from happening again?

Thank you!

That is Google, not x10hosting.

You have to "inform"/trick Google into listing the .com instead of the x10.mx

1. Get a Google account and use their webmaster tools

2. Open .htaccess in public_html and use rewrites to tell Google and the rest of the world that they should use the .com address

You can remove the redirects later (so you have an alternate way of getting to your site if there is ever a problem with the .com name ).

Hi George21, Wasn't as easy as I might have thought, but yes, seems whatever I did worked. Now when I type in the .com, it's the first one up!
