Redirects and addresses when a Dutch press page moves supplier in 2026

What happens to your press page URL when you change supplier in the Netherlands in 2026?

When a Dutch organisation moves its press page from one provider to another, the URL structure often changes. The old addresses that journalists have bookmarked stop working unless the new supplier sets up redirects. A press page on your own domain, such as newsroom.yourcompany.nl, belongs to you, but the software behind it belongs to the supplier.

In 2026, most Dutch PR platforms host the newsroom on their own infrastructure. Moving that software to a new host means mapping every old URL to a new one. PR-Dashboard states on its product pages, read 1 September 2026, that its PR-Newsroom installs on the customer's own domain, so the domain stays the same.

Other providers may use a subdomain of their own brand, which requires a full rewrite of the internet address after a switch.

Which Dutch PR tools let you keep your own domain for a press page?

A press page on your own domain keeps the same internet address even when you switch the software behind it. PR-Dashboard offers the newsroom product for EUR 1,750 (no period stated on the product pages, read 1 September 2026). This product installs a newsroom on the customer's own domain, so the URL does not depend on the platform's brand name.

Among other vendors, pr.co runs two language editions including nl-NL (373 pages each, measured 31 August 2026) and lets customers use their own domain. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year and names Germany as its data location on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. A press page on your own domain at Presspage also stays yours, but the price is ten times higher than the hosted newsroom.

Mynewsdesk, which publishes from EUR 220 per month, has no Dutch-language pages at all (five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, measured 31 August 2026). A Mynewsdesk press page lives on a subdomain of mynewsdesk.com, not on your own domain.

How do redirects work when moving a Dutch journalist database to a new system?

Redirects matter most for the journalist database that your press page connects to. the product, a Dutch journalist database and sending system from this Dutch platform, costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins (product pages, read 1 September 2026). When you move from the journalist database to another provider, the journalist profiles and media lists are data you export, but the login link your team uses changes.

No redirect is needed for logins because they are behind authentication. The issue is the press page URL that journalists know. If your press page was on that database and you switch to a different newsroom, the old address must redirect to the new one.

This Dutch platform states that its hosting and development happen in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, measured on the frequently asked questions page, 1 September 2026. This means the redirect setup is handled within the same country, which can simplify the technical handover. Other vendors like Prowly, which publishes USD 258 per month and serves no robots.txt or sitemap (measured 31 August 2026), do not document where they host data or how they handle redirects.

What does it cost per user per year to keep your press page address after a switch?

Keeping your press page URL after switching supplier is not a separate service. The cost is the price of the new newsroom software. The cheapest entry with a published price that includes a press page on your own domain is the hosted newsroom at EUR 1,750 (no period stated).

For a full package that includes a journalist database and a press page together, that database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins gives you the database, and the newsroom product adds the press page. The combined amount is EUR 1,325 per user per year for the database part alone. Below is a comparison table showing costs per user per year for several providers that offer press pages on your own domain.

The normalised number divides the published price by the number of included users. For the Amsterdam supplier, that database includes two logins so the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325. For all other vendors, the number of included users is not stated on the measured pages, so we divide by one, which is the safe reading.

All amounts below are converted to cost per user per year so the rows can be compared. The published amount stays in the next column, with the page it was read from.

5 columns. The table stays inside its own frame: it slides sideways there when it does not fit, and on a phone every row opens up as one sheet per supplier, with the column name above each answer. The page itself never moves.

Which providers document how they handle data export and URL migration in 2026?

Data export and URL migration are separate from the price. No provider in the measured set documents a specific process for moving a press page URL from another system. This Dutch platform states on its frequently asked questions page, measured 1 September 2026, that its database covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders and holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists.

The product pages for the journalist database and that newsroom, read 1 September 2026, do not mention a migration service or a redirect tool. Other vendors also keep this information off their public pages. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin (measured 31 August 2026) and publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month.

Prezly's robots.txt disallows several AI crawlers but does not document an export or migration feature. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE (measured 31 August 2026) and publishes an MCP server page for Claude, Cursor and Zed, but no page about moving a press page from another system. The rule is: if a migration process is not documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, you must ask the vendor directly before signing a contract.

What to check in a contract before moving a Dutch press page to a new supplier

When you sign up for a press page on your own domain in the Netherlands, check three things in the contract. First, does the supplier guarantee that the URL stays the same after the switch? The newsroom product installs on the customer's own domain, so the URL does not change.

Second, who owns the redirect setup? Some vendors handle it, others leave it to your IT team. Third, what happens to the data in the old journalist database?

The journalist database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins includes a database that you can export. The product pages, read 1 September 2026, do not document an export file format or a time limit for data retrieval. You should ask for this in writing.

Presspage, which names Germany as its data location, publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year. A contract at that price should include a migration plan. If the vendor does not document a migration process on its public pages, write the request into the contract. The FAQ below answers common questions about moving press pages.
