    Hi there everyone, I have a domain I want to point to a different site (which is still running on my same server)

    What is better for search engines, to place a redirect page or to just edit the domain to point to the site I want?

    Thanks in advance!

    Set the site to be a 301 redirect (permanent) to the site that you would like to point to.

    Ok so if my main site is whatever.com and I want to direct something.com to it, I should use this 301 redirect?

    Now for my other ignorant question...how do I make this 301?
