    I have an old domain that is getting around 70 unique visits a day.

    and I want to redirect all of those visitors to one of my other sites.

    Im just curious how to go about doing this, ive read something about a 301 but im not sure what that means.

    any and all advice is appreciated,

    thanks,

    sean

    You need to add the below code to the .htaccess file on the web hosting account for the domain name you want forward.

    
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] 
    
    Code (markup):
    Replace newdomain.com with yours.

    You can do it using cPanel OR from your domain panel. Also you can do it using htaccess file

    Its depend which hosting you have

    if you have Linux hosting you can do it through htaccess

    if you have windows hosting you have to do it from server
