301 Redirect
301 Redirect
301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".
You can Test your redirection with Search Engine Friendly Redirect Checker

Redirect Old domain to New domain using htaccess redirect
Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all your directories and pages of your old domain will get correctly redirected to your new domain.
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://http://www.zjjv.com///$1 [R=301,L]
Please REPLACE http://www.zjjv.com/ in the above code with your actual domain name.
In addition to the redirect I would suggest that you contact every backlinking site to modify their backlink to point to your new website.
Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.
Redirect to www using htaccess redirect
Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to http://www.zjjv.com/
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)
Options +FollowSymlinks

rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://http://www.zjjv.com///$1 [r=301,nc]
Please REPLACE domain.com and http://www.zjjv.com/ with your actual domain name.
