: Redirecting IP address to domain address Google has indexed the IP address of my site rather than the domain, so now I'm trying to set up a 301 redirect that will redirect the IP address
Google has indexed the IP address of my site rather than the domain, so now I'm trying to set up a 301 redirect that will redirect the IP address and all subsequent pages to the domain.
I currently have something like this in my .htaccess file (however don't think it's working correctly?):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^12.34.567.890
RewriteRule (.*) (domain address)/ [R=301,L]
I've used various redirect checker tools and keep getting the message: "... not redirecting to any URL or the redirect is NOT SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY"
Am I doing something wrong or is there something else I should be trying?

Something like this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^12.34.567.890$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
If either the old or new url won't dereference, then usually the Google crawler complains.
Try this pattern for your httphost cond (the following represent the end of the first line)
!^example.com [NC]
