I am new here. I would like to migrate my existing site here. Does anyone know of a crawler, or software, to search and replace the outdated links to point to Infinityfree ?
To fix the links, open the files in a IDE like Sublime and do CTRL+F for the old URL and replace it with the new one. Some programs let you find and replace across all open files.
all the links point to suspended site so I dont think its going to work
maybe im misunderstanding something here, do you have a full local backup copy of your site ? if not then youâll have to request a backup from your original hosting company
if youâre unable to get a backup then you may be able to recover most of your site from archive.org using this link
currently all the side menu links point to your old suspended website
If I understand it correctly, the files have already been migrated, however they still contain a lot of references to the old domain name.
If so, you donât need a crawler or special software. All you need to do is a basic text search+replace feature to replace all instances of the old domain with your new domain.
There are a lot of tools that can do this, but I would suggest to start looking at the tool you already use to build your website. Most code editor tools have the ability to search and replace across multiple files, or even the entire project.
Visual Studio Code from Microsoft is a powerful, free option to write code, and can easily search and replace text across your entire site.
LOLâŚNever thought of that. Of course, I was looking for the lazy manâs automated batch solution to change the hundreds of documents. 
But, I will use Dreamweaver to do this. Thanks very much.
No problem. I have two, or even three, backups of the entire site. Thank you.
Iâm sorry about misunderstanding your situation earlier, one word in your original post âcrawlerâ threw me off the tracks
That was my fault and I do apologize
If youâre using linux then you could install rpl
sudo apt install rpl
Then this command within the project directory to recursively replace all occurrences of oldUrl with newUrl in all files with a .html extension
rpl -R -v oldUrl newUrl â*.htmlâ
If youâre using windows then I would recommend installing notepad++ text editor as it includes a search and replace option for files in a directory
No worries. Wow! What a coincidence - I have always used Notepad++. Of course, both Dreamweaver and Word also have this feature. Thanks again.
Okay, here are two questions.
I am not sure what I replace the old URL with.
For example, my old ORL was: http://harry.cckerala.com and I could have a file, for eg. favicon.png in the root and I could access it with Account Suspended.
What needs to be replaced with what here?
replace harry.ccerala.com with harry-kerala.000.pe
donât bother with slashes or anything else, just that will do it and everything else should automatically fall into place perfectly as long as your files and directories have the same names as the original site
btw love the pink floyd avatar 
Thank you. Yes, I can take it from here. I built this site back in 1997 when there were not too many designing software. Never had to move until now.
Thanks. One of my ringtones is âMoneyâ. A true masterpiece.
