Redirect all traffic to root of another domain

Question

I have a domain that\'s not to be used anymore. I want to redirect all from http://www.old.com/ to http://www.new.com/, no matter what page the use

Answer 1

Put this code in your ROOT .htaccess on www.old.com

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?old\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.new.com/ [R=301,L]

This rule will externally redirect all www.old.com/* to www.new.com/
