lds.org is still the main domain name

#1

Post by jknacnud »

LDS.org is now ChurchofJesusChrist.org
When will churchofjesuschrist.org become the main domain?

When I visit the URL lds.org I do not get redirected to churchofjesuschrist.org. When I visit churchofjesuschrist.org I DO get redirected to lds.org.

And will lds.org be retired at some point? Or will it always be around?

Eventually they will make the redirections flow the other way. Unfortunately, they probably have MANY servers and subdomains with "lds.org" hardcoded in that would break if redirected to "churchofjesuschrist.org". Each of these will have to be hand fixed before making the final switch.

Kind of reminds me of the massive Y2K push a couple of decades ago to get all the servers and underlying infrastructure updated to a 4-digit year, only back then they had an immovable deadline to get the job done.
