So you have the files on

So you have the files on some computer acting as a server for your network, and these domains are also registered with DNS? Something like this?

Then the original advice applies about duplicating the current structure on the remote server(s) and you would need to register the DNS with the new IP, not sure what would happen to the local DNS, I suppose you would need to update that with the new IPs too.

I mean local as I have

I mean local as I have direct access in front of me. I can touch the pc that they are on. I have the dns local on the same network but the website will be going to a hosting company elsewhere online remotely.

Hi jharl,

Welcome to TWF!

I do not use IIS (except for one site) but I will try to help.

In general, you need to replicate your structure on the new server exactly, including directories as well as databases. Very often you may have to change the database name or db username depending on the structure of your host (ie, need to add a prefix youraccount_dbname)

In your title you say they are local virtual host - does that mean you have them on your computer, not online? If that is the case, only local, you do not need a redirect, you only need to configure the DNS.

This wikipedia page explains redirects including 301, javascript, http-refresh etc
