Hi Dennis,
I apologize it's taken me so long to get back to you
"Are you sure this is needed? The old sitemap contains the same url's, since the url's did not change. So I think it's not needed right?"
** I believe it is wise to put your old domains site map with your new domain because technically the URL did change because the domain changed**
"temporary paused Cloudflare"
** Thank you for explaining that you temporarily caused CloudFlare that makes a lot more sense to be frank with you I doubt that CloudFlare will hurt your site in any way shape or form even if it had a blacklisted IP address it's a reverse proxy so all the IP's are constantly changing. It might be that somebody did something negative with one of the four IP addresses that it signs to your website and I'm certain that CloudFlare would clean it up pretty quickly however it never hurts to remove another piece of technology and see if it's causing the problem.**
Yes, this is a little disturbing. I would expect that vihara.nl shouldn't be indexed anymore. The rankings are gone, but most pages are still indexed.
** It is an extremely clear sign that the site is not redirecting properly. They should no longer be in Google's index or Google should be made aware of this domain change one more time if you can do that?**
site:vihara.nl

It only contains these rules, to redirect every single page while only changing the domain:
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://meditatieinstituut.nl/$1 [R=301,L]
** I believe that the issue with the redirects may come from the www. or www. still not redirecting. From what I can tell the HT Access file should be when I have placed in below you can check it here. https://ahrefs.com/blog/301-redirects/**
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^vihara.nl [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.vihara.nl [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://_meditatieinstituut_.nl/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
_"Vimexx.nl > I don't think it's the best but it's quit good. It's the same as the previous site vihara.nl, so I expect it doesn't make it worse than it should be."
_ **It does not have to be the best most expensive hosting just a quality web host.
They are worth quite a bit when it comes to troubleshooting and configuration. In my experience
maybe look for another one around the same price that it has better reviews?
I apologize I don't know what "Vimexx.nl is referring to another domain that you own?**
Yes, I did a find and replace for vihara.nl to meditatieinstituut.nl. So even the images and everything are changed to the new domain.
Nice work that is very important.
** I think there is something missing that we are not able to put our fingers on I apologize I did not see this earlier and have not seen your search console or been able to index the domain. I will do that in the next couple of hours.**
**respectfully,** **Tom**
