Decommission the previous Azure-hosted prototype kit website

[frankieroberto]

We should redirect https://nhsuk-prototype-kit.azurewebsites.net to https://prototype-kit.service-manual.nhs.uk now it has an official URL.

Ideally the individual pages would redirect using 301 permanent redirect, and stripping off the /docs/ path, eg:

• https://nhsuk-prototype-kit.azurewebsites.net/docs/install ➡️ https://prototype-kit.service-manual.nhs.uk/install
• https://nhsuk-prototype-kit.azurewebsites.net/docs/how-tos ➡️ https://prototype-kit.service-manual.nhs.uk/how-tos
• https://nhsuk-prototype-kit.azurewebsites.net/docs/how-tos/making-pages ➡️ https://prototype-kit.service-manual.nhs.uk/how-tos/making-pages

etc

@roshaanbajwa is this something you'd be able to set up within Azure DevOps at all? I had a look (now that I have access) but it was all quite confusing.

If we can't do easily do redirects then probably the next best thing would be to just decommission the site and allow it to 404 so that Google stops indexing it? I think we’ve now managed to update any links to point to the new URL. cc @anandamaryon1

Raised with ServiceNow on 7 Jan 2025, still waiting for them to action it.

I've updated the title as we’ve agreed to drop the idea of a redirect (as it’s harder to set up within Azure) and instead have requested that the old domain and website is de-commissioned, which will result in a 404.
