You can use HTML redirection like this: <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.yoursite.com"> Make sure keep 0 in content. You need to place this tag in the header <head> code </head> hope it will help you!
You need to do a 301 redirect otherwise it will be slow and any rank from the previous site will not be passed on. Here is how to do it. Redirect Old domain to New domain (htaccess redirect)Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all your directories and pages of your old domain will get correctly redirected to your new domain. The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed) Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] Please REPLACE www.newdomain.com in the above code with your actual domain name. In addition to the redirect I would suggest that you contact every backlinking site to modify their backlink to point to your new website. Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.
301 is not just the safest but it is the BEST. You should also 301 your non www to your www, so you will get full credit.
