Hello.
L'Abeille-cyclotourisme de Rueil Malmaison. Balades conviviales à vélo has been online since about year 2000. It is a 2.5 GB website used by my bicycle club, with HTML4 pages and CSS2, entirely hosted at the root of a single directory (containing many sub-directories) at Dreamhost.
Under the same domain name, I plan to create with my successor webmaster a new website for the exact same purpose, this time using Joomla or WordPress (my succesor's choice) to be more modern, with a Start-up Date within the year 2020. I don't know the first step I need to do.
Before Start-up Date, I currently assume, based on my searches on the web, that the new website, under construction and not advertised (closed to robots), should be visible on the subdomain (outdated link removed). Meanwhile, I want the old website, still updated, to continue to be accessible from the current domain www.abeille-cyclotourisme.fr.
After Start-up Date, I want the new website, then solely updated, to be visible on the domain www.abeille-cyclotourisme.fr. Meanwhile, the old website, no longer updated, would continue to be accessible from the subdomain, advertised and open to robots, (outdated link removed).
There would need to be a minimal number of links (about 10) from the new site to the old site and vice-versa.
The above may be a silly (unrealistic) way of addressing the question. If the question is realistic, which steps should I implement to achieve what I want ?
Create, in the form of two entirely separate directories, the two subdomains (outdated link removed) and (outdated link removed).
Copy all site contents to (outdated link removed)?
Redirect its content to www.abeille-cyclotourisme.fr ?
Empty the directory www.abeille-cyclotourisme.fr of its content ?
Create, over two years, the future new site in 2020.abeille-cyclotourisme.fr ?
On Start-up Date, undo the redirection from 2000.abeille-cyclotourisme.fr; and
Redirect (outdated link removed) to www.abeille-cyclotourisme.fr ?
Is the above feasible, is there a better way to achieve the same objective ?
Any help will be appreciated and useful. TIA
