deleting the old site and 301 redirect migration to preserve page rank

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 16.2015

So I am looking to completely redesign a site, keep the domain name, but change the host. Every damn article / tutorial for successful website migration I was looking at is assuming that the old site/domain will still be live – to host the .htaccess file.

In my case, the client has a site with some company (one of those cheap site-builder companies for beginners). I need to completely redesign the layout and content of the site, move it to a new host and keep the domain and SEO juice – surprisingly, the site has a very good ranking.

What is the best way to go about this ?
Thank you.
