How to 301 Redirect a Domain Name to Another Using .htaccess

Yan Sheng Huang explains how to do a 301 redirect from one domain name to another using the .htaccess file. This is the preferred method to maintain existing SEO or search engine optimization. This works on Linux servers which is what the majority of web hosts run on.

kennyL3010 No problem.
This stuff ain't easy... I've been sitting studying how to redirect my blog to a completely new site for 13 hours straight. I am no good with code at all. I got two blogs on the same domain, and I want to redirect one of the blogs to a completely new domain. Nothing works. :(

What is [NC, OR]?

[@jahanzaibalam6389]

The [NC] specifies that the http host is case insensitive. The escapes the "." - because this is a special character (normally, the dot (.) means that one character is unspecified)
