Why not use htaccess on the old place to redirect to the new place? And make sure that the new place has SSL (another htaccess directive). Much googles/bings/ducks on how to use htaccess to redirect from old domain to new one.

First, I’d recommend using “pretty permalinks” over the default query-string structure. This will eliminate most of your problems from the getgo. It will turn your http://www.example.com/?cat=15#post-170 urls into http://www.example.com/category/category-slug/#post-170 and the browser will move correctly to the post’s position in the page.
