My websites are hosted on Amazon Web Services, but we moved from one physical server to another (i.e., the IP addresses changed). We were using www
for our site before the new site came up. The www
URLs redirected to the non-www
URLs.
After the move, I had re-verified the domain using the file method in Google Webmasters Tools, and when I was trying to set the preferred domain to the non-www
, I could see the non-www
option was grayed out.
Google Webmasters Tools help stated that I need to create separate profiles for www
and non-www
versions which I have (and verified the new non-www
property as well). Now however neither URLs are indexed in Google.
- Is creating two different properties necessary?
- I've submitted sitemaps for both properties. Will Google give relevance to only one of them? If so which one?
