    There are may other ways to have a 301 redirect. For example, if you decided to change your website from .htm to .php you will need to 301 redirect all the pages.

    The .htaccess example you gave is incorrect. You said:

    but the rewriterule is incorrect... or at least the flag is incorrect. It should read:

    Your post is almost too short to be useful. The post has broken English and incorrect grammer. I'd have someone who speaks English as a first language proof read your posts.

    It's not a bad article. There is room for improvement and a bit more information, and the code Canonical has shared would be a great asset to your post.

    Thanks for sharing the article, I think the article could have been a little longer with more code samples. The code sample Canonical gave is indeed a great asset in this forum.

    URL redirection is sometimes used as a part of phishing attacks that confuse visitors about which web site they are visiting. However, because modern browsers always show the real URL in the address bar, the threat is lessened. However, redirects can also take you to sites that will otherwise attempt to attack in other ways. For example, a redirect might take a user to a site that would attempt to trick them into downloading antivirus software and ironically installing a trojan of some sort instead.

    Thanks for the Information.
