Redirecting from ayy.fi and otax.fi subdomains

Old ayy.fi and otax.fi subdomains can be redirected to your new domain. The redirection rules are set in this repository: https://github.com/ayystudentunion/ayy-subdomain-redirect/ You can ask AYY IT at tietotekniikka@ayy.fi to set up the redirection for you, or you can do it yourself by forking the repository and creating a pull request by following the instructions in the repository.

To set up a redirection we need to know the following things:

  • The old subdomains that need to be redirected
  • The new domain that the subdomains should be redirected to
  • Whether to include the path in the redirection
    • For example, if you want testikilta.ayy.fi to redirect to testikilta.fi, do you want testikilta.ayy.fi/old-page to redirect to testikilta.fi/old-page or testikilta.fi?
  • Whether the redirection should be permanent or temporary
    • Permanent redirections are cached by browsers and search engines, so they are better for SEO
    • Temporary redirections are not cached, so they are better if you want to change the redirection later
