  Jenny Gomes: Hello Community,
  
  Please help me out. I want to redirect one of my my website's page to a subdomain using web.config file. ; For Example.. I want to 301 redirect www.example.com/index.htm to http://newpage.example.com .. Please suggest me - What rule should I use in web.config file??

  Dave Elliott: i presume it is an asp.net cms you are using. (dnn, umbracco?)
  
  Web.config was always annoying to write diverts for so i tended to do it on the IIS server rather than the config file.
  
  That said the code looks like this:
  
  <configuration>
   ;  ; <location path="page1.htm">
   ;  ;  ;  ; <system.webServer>
   ;  ;  ;  ;  ;  ; <httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="http://www.mysite.com/newpage.htm" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
   ;  ;  ;  ; </system.webServer>
  </location>
  </configuration>
  
  You can also use rules to divert say everything in one folder to a different folder etc but i don't have code bookmarked for that!

  Jim Munro: I have an allergic reaction at the mention of the web.config file. It's happening again. :)
  
  I think Dave's answer is perfect.
