I have a website i.e. www.exhibitionsnow.com, it's URL structure is not good. I am new to ASP.NET. Can someone suggest the correct procedure to rewrite the URLs, and also what would be the code to apply a canonical URL.
URL Rewriting module EXISTS for IIS, it's very simple to use, if you don't need (I'm sure you don't) dynamic URL rewriting.

There is an article about URL Rewriting. You can simply apply this to your web site

I built a wordpress website for my client at firsturl.com. They own another URL at secondurl.com, and have decided that they would like their website at secondurl.com instead.
They don't actually have hosting with secondurl.com, they just own the URL, but both URLs are owned through the same hosting company.
Is it possible to keep my site at firsturl.com, but make it look like it is at secondurl.com? More than just redirecting, I need the secondurl.com to always be the main URL.
I would recommend try with domain masking. Here is the reference https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_masking
Thanks.

I have a WordPress site. which is now moving to asp.net cms (Sitefinity). In this process my url structures are getting changed but I want to keep the traffic of previous urls on the new urls as well.
Old as the domain will be transferred to new site old pages will not be found (404)
Things making it complicated.
Old and new site has lots of Dynamic urls
Old site has different urls structure than new url
I do not wan't to put all these urls in web.config file.
Solutions I tried
I tried to write 301 redirect on Robot.txt as I can capture old and new url at the time of migration
I searched for solutions all over net but didn't got any straight forward solutions
One of the forums mentioned that we should not write 301 redirects on Robot.txt
Don't know what to follow or where to search. Please guide me to correct path.
Thank You

If you have an identifiable pattern between the two using the URL rewrite module would be your best bet. Or write some code to insert the old urls as multiple URLs on the content items.
Do you have an example of the old URL and what the new URL will look like? It is possible that if you know how the URL pattern will change you can create a redirect rule in your web.config.
Also, Sitefinity allows you to create redirects as well. This includes creating alternative urls for pages or creating redirecting pages.
The exact solution really depends on how much the URL is changing and how many redirect urls are needed.
We are currently building a site on our server that will eventually take over a current site. The problem we are running into is that all of our hyperlinks will change once we transfer over to the new site. Is there a way to link pages without hard coding in the URL?
You will probably want to use mod_rewrite to rewrite your URL from the old format to the new format. You might start at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html. If you search on mod_rewrite, you will be able to find lots of examples and tutorials to help you.
I have an issue where the URL re-write in IIS7 loads the component contents just fine, but not the site template.
Where this:
http://125valleywood.nexthometown.com/
Should look like this:
http://www.nexthometown.com/index.php?option=com_singleprop&view=singleprop&mlsnum=4200072
If I use "redirect" instead of "rewrite" everything is fine. I figure it has something to do with the domain joomla is tied to ?
My solution to this was to not use URL re-write. I instead mimicked a blind URL redirect using the DNS manager on windows server 2008. I figure it had something to do with the Joomla install not recognizing the subdomain. What I did not look into was seeing if Joomla would take a wildcard for the sitename, ie *.mysite.com. But since I never determined whether or not this was the problem in the first place, I not sure this would have been a solution.
Is it possible (and if so how) to redirect the url from a forms get variables into something more url friendly using IIS 7's URL Rewrite module. An example would be
/Catalog/Search/Title=Something&Order=Price
into
/Catalog/Search/Title/Something/Order/Price
Yes it is, but you should dig into this article for how as there are some good details in it:
