Hi, I will be changing the main domain for my photography business and will consequently change my smugmug domain and subdomain.
How can I ensure that the photos I and others have published using direct links will remain accessible?
example:
store.olddomain.com/imagelink.jpg
will now be
gallleries.newdomain.com/imagelink.jpg
Thank you!

It sounds to me like you want to "forward" (without masking) your old domain to your new domain so when anyone types your old domain or encouters an image on the old domain, it will automatically redirect to the new domain. How well this will work will depend upon the capabilities of your domain registrar.

Domain is at godaddy or custom nameserver, not sure which. I should have full control.
Any idea where I can see a setup like this ore read about it?
Thanks!
