Help to re-organize

[tb]

I have only been in this biz a couiple of months, I knew nothing of this 2257 bull when I started.
One thing I do need is to be able to operate legally and simply.
So I am going to move my server to a country where there is no effect from 2257.
As well I am not so happy with the domain name I chose.
So I am going to change that too.

1- How easy or hard is it to redirect to the new server / new name ?
2- How long should I redirect for ?
3- How do I inform the link lists that I am going to be changing and that they need to update the link they have?

The idea is to make the changes while pissing off as few of the link list people as possible.

I have stopped building and submitting sites for now.

Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions or help is always appreciated.
