    <p>I've got a bit of a problem with Google's Change of Address function on the Google Webmaster tools. I hope that I got the right part of the Stack Exchange for this. </p> <p>Basically, for six years I've been using a blogging platform blogsome.com (which hosts domains like <a href="http://site-address.blogsome.com" rel="nofollow">http://site-address.blogsome.com</a>), which is basically a hosted wordpress server. I've had no complaints about it, until they recently announced that they would close down on a very, very short notice. </p> <p>With this, I found it a good opportunity to set up a domain of my own (let's call it <a href="http://site-adress.net" rel="nofollow">http://site-adress.net</a> for now). Setting up the domain and website went well, but when I went to Google Webmaster Tools to tell it about the change of address, this proved to be surprisingly difficult. In particular, when I tried the "Change of Address"-option on the dashboard, I get the message that this option is not available for subdomains. </p> <p>What method would there be to correctly tell google that my site has changed? I cannot use 301-redirects, because 1) I do not have access to do that on blogsome, and 2) blogsome will be shutting down really soon (read: within a week; the news was on a very short notice, and I spent most of that time actually setting up the website). I've also read somewhere that you should keep your old site alive for 180 days, and again that is no option for me either. </p>
