title: 301 redirect from /public_html to /newdirectory
body: <p>My client had his website in <code>/public_html</code> (PHP). I was building him a new website (PHP). The week we were prepping to launch he was hacked. His web person moved the new website from <code>/public_html/sub</code> to <code>/sub</code> and pointed the domain at it.</p>
  
  <p>My client has lost his Google ranking. I don't have access to the cPanel. Do I need to do a 301 redirect to try to get his ranking back? Any other suggestions? </p>
