    Would you like to redirect your current domain used on your old website to a new website with new domain? If so you'll have to setup a 301 redirect on your old domain to point to your new domain. That will send all your visitors to the new domain and also tell Google to transfer your pagerank. If you're using the same page structure you have to setup a 301 redirect with a "*" (wildcard), for redirect to functions correctly

    301 redirect is the best way to redirect as it will also transfers all the weightage like PR, Authority to new domain.

    301 redirect is the best way for web page redirection on the new address without damaging the rank of search engines. It is the safest way to do the same as well as helps to redirect outdated url to correct pages also.

    You can use htaccess method for redirecting using 301 redirect. Here is a sample of what to put in the htaccess file :

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ hxxp: //newdomain.com/ [R=301]

    301 redirection is the best redirection The below syntax should be added to .htaccess through filezilla

    syntax: let us say your site is http://www.example.com

    redirect 301 old.html http://www.example.com/new.html

    old link should not include the domain name as in the example above

    Add a 301 redirect to change the domain over. You will probably experience a drop in rankings while the transition happens though between the 2 domains but this is normally short term and the power will come back.

    To redirect your website to new address there are main two ways one is by using JavaScript code and the other one is most popular way using redirect 301 permanent method. As per your web server, there are different ways to write redirection code. If you are using shared hosting, it may possible you need to contact hosting service provider for redirection.

    You will need to do a 301 redirection and make sure that all pages will redirect to its right pages.

    To redirect you site o another address you need to setup a 301 redirect on your old domain to point to your new domain.
