URL redirection from united-domains to free webspace (bplaced.net) bad for SEO?

URL redirection from united-domains to free webspace (bplaced.net) bad for SEO? - If a page has internal and external outgoing links to redirecting URLs, it’s returning 3xx (301, 302, etc.) HTTP status codes standing for redirection. This issue means that the page does not exist on a permanent or temporary basis. It appears on most of the popular web browsers, usually caused by a misconfigured website. However, there are some steps you can take to ensure the issue isn’t on your side. You can find more details about redirecting URLs by reading the Google Search Central overview. In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the URL redirection from united-domains to free webspace (bplaced.net) bad for SEO? error on your web browser. Problem :

I have the following URL at united-domains.de: ffm-nachhilfe.de.
Currently I use the Webspace from united-domains.de (I am still in the first free month) but after the first month it will cost 4 Euro per month which is not few for a poor student. Consequently I want to use free webspace instead.

I found http://www.bplaced.net/ where I can get 2GB webspace for free. I like this. Under "Address for CNAME" I found for my account at bplaced.net the following address: richard87.bplaced.net
If I understand correctly I would now need to redirect my URL ffm-nachhilfe.de on the homepage of united-domains.de to this address.
As I can see I now have three choices:

1. Header-Redirect (this would be suicide, because then everybody
   would read for example "richard87.bplaced.net/kontakt.html" as he
   actually should read "ffm-nachhilfe.de/kontakt.html". Did I
   understand that correctly?)


2. frame redirection (disadvantage: you would not see any more the
   full URL for example if you are on ffm-nachhilfe.de/kontakt.html the
   browser would just always tell you "ffm-nachhilfe.de")


3. URL-hiding. As I understand correctly you would see then the full
   URL (like this!) but it could be a little bit lame sometimes.

If I understand correctly the third way is the only human way to keep (full) face. My questions now are:

1. Did I understand that correctly?


2. If I would choose URL-hiding would that hurt my SEO?


3. Should I just rather pay the 50 Euros per year and don't be so stingy?

I hope my questions weren't too silly and I appologize for my German accent (and by accent I mean style mistakes). Thank you very much in advance for your great help!

Solution :

... my account at bplaced.net the following address: richard87.bplaced.net If I understand correctly I would now need to redirect my URL ffm-nachhilfe.de on the homepage of united-domains.de to this address.

On ffm-nachhilfe.de you need to redirect users to richard87.bplaced.net and header redirect is best.

If you use apache and have mod_rewrite installed, you can add these lines to .htaccess and save it to the document root folder at ffm-nachhilfe.de:

RewriteCond %HTTP_HOST ^ffm-nachhilfe.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://richard87.bplaced.net/$1 [R=301,L]

Then visit redbot.org and test a page from ffm-nachhilfe.de and you should see at least the following headers:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://richard87.bplaced.net/
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
