Session Objective

Answer how to resolve the Spanish subdomain blocker before deleting old Cloudways Autonomous apps or the old server.

What Was Verified

• es.aguiarinjurylawyers.com still points to old IP 159.89.185.166, DNS-only in Cloudflare.
• aguiarinjurylawyers.com and www.aguiarinjurylawyers.com point to Flexible IP 155.138.233.18.
• Old es root returns HTTP 200 with title Abogados de Lesiones Personales y Accidentes | Sam Aguiar and canonical https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/es/.
• Flexible /es/ redirects to /espanol/.
• Flexible /espanol/ returns HTTP 200 with title Abogado De Accidentes En Espanol | Sam Aguiar, canonical https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/espanol/, and has the active intake form.
• Old es root has no form.
• Old es Spanish paths such as /espanol/, /abogado-louisville/, /abogado-lexington/, /lesiones-personales/, and /abogados-accidentes-camiones/ return 404 on the old host.
• Flexible already has the Spanish pages: /espanol/, /lesiones-personales/, /abogados-accidentes-camiones/, /abogado-louisville/, and /abogado-lexington/.
• Old es sitemap still exists, is Yoast-generated, and points to old-host sitemap URLs with 2025 lastmod values.

Recommendation

Use Cloudflare edge redirects to retire es.aguiarinjurylawyers.com into the Flexible main-domain Spanish pages. Do not migrate content from the old server; the Flexible Spanish page is newer, canonical, and has the active form.

Redirect Shape

• https://es.aguiarinjurylawyers.com/ -> https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/espanol/ with HTTP 301.
• https://es.aguiarinjurylawyers.com/<path> -> https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/<path> with HTTP 301 where the same path exists on Flexible.
• If unknown old paths are found later, send them either to the matching Flexible path or to /espanol/, depending on relevance.

Implementation Outline

1. Create a fresh backup/export of the old Cloudways app/server surface for rollback and evidence.
