I have a question about the impact (if any) of site-wide redirects for DNS/hosting change purposes.

I am preparing to redirect the domain for a site I manage from https://siteImanage.com to https://www.siteImanage.com. Traffic to the site currently redirects in reverse, from https://www.siteImanage.com to https://siteImanage.com.

Based on my research, I understand that making this change should not affect the site’s excellent SEO as long as my canonical tags are updated and a 301 redirect is in place. But I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a potential consequence of this switch I’m not considering. Because this redirect lives at the root of all the site’s slugs and existing redirects, will it technically produce a redirect chain or a redirect loop? If it does, is that problematic?

Thanks for your input!

Thank you for your response, Kris! In this case, I am glad they own the .org domain—they're a huge organizational entity and not having ownership of it could open up some obvious issues. I do agree that purchasing several domains to forward seems superfluous on a lot of different levels.

Hello! I have a question I've been unable to find a clear answer to. My client's primary domain is a .com with a satisfactorily high DA. My client owns the .org version of its domain (which has a very low DA, I suppose due to inactivity) but has never forwarded it on. For branding/visibility/traffic reasons, I'd like to recommend they set up the .org domain to forward to the .com domain, but I wanted to ask a few questions first:

1. Does forwarding low-value DA domains to high-value DA domains have any negative authority/SEO impact?

2. If the .org domain was to be forwarded, am I correct that an SSL cert is not necessary for it if the .com domain has an SSL cert?

Thanks in advance!
