301

[Rusher]

How do you set up a 301 redirect on your web site?

[suwunk]

if your site is hosted on a Linux Server you can use .htaccess for redirection
Redirect Old domain to New domain

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect to www

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

if your site is hosted on a Windows Server you can use IIS Redirect

*In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder you wish to redirect
*Select the radio titled "a redirection to a URL".
*Enter the redirection page
*Check "The exact url entered above" and the "A permanent redirection for this resource"
*Click on 'Apply'

You can also use server-side scripting for redirection

Thank you for the above advice.

The below code you gave above worked for me in an .htaccess redirect.

In a shared windows hosting account that does not have direct access to IIS, you can create a redirect using your web.config file in the root of your website. Create that file and insert the code mentioned here:
