Moving Page to new Domain

    I am moving a page that is currently ranked well for some keywords to a new domain. I would like all hits to the old page redirect to the new site.

    I know how to do this in code using a php redirect. But I am wondering if there is another method to do the redirect that is better for seo so the page is less likely to lose it's ranking after being moved?

    Thanks!

    Whether it's PHP or in htaccess - either is done on the server side before the headers are sent to the crawler. So to them it's the same.

    what is http 301 redirect and the discussion about it relating to seo? There was some glitch or something in Google for a while?

    301 redirects are fine, google is quite happy with them.
