At the same time, the specification of redirecting to the new URL was adopted when accessing the URL of the old domain (www.ntt.co.jp), but the correspondence ended on December 27th. Yuyarin (@ yuyarin) on the end of the contribution for redirection introduces the solution, "group.ntt/jp/ can refer to". But "because there is no redirection, things that are not linked by the new URL will not be indexed." The old URL was mistakenly deleted from the index, which can not be found in the search engine, synonymous with non-existent, so it is not good at all. Why did NTT stop redirecting? When asked about the company, "judging from the number of visits to the old URL before December, because the number has decreased a lot, so the judgment has no impact." In addition, according to the continued cost will be spent accordingly, from a comprehensive judgment to determine the end of redirection. "We hope that there will be no inconvenience to you by informing you again that you have changed to the new URL," NTT said. However, there are no plans to redirect again.
