XF 1.5 Going from mywebsite/community.com to mywebsite.com

[tommydamic68]

Looking for some input and suggestions:

How complicated is it to go to mywebsite.com from mywebsite/community.com? Transferring from one folder to another on my server? How about my redirects, what else is involved? Is it worth it?

Is there any negative impact like SEO - etc?

I do think that besides url changing there is not much to worry about. Google will index the new urls pretty soon too.

Google isn't to fond of the practice but if done correctly no significant negative impact should be noticed.

Done correctly, any good advice on doing the change? I would imagine just changing the folder and redirection there is nothing more to do.
