Recently i came across redirecting one of my website to another, it was a wordpress blog dead a little while ago because i was so busy with my studies that blog was a tech blog also and it was’t having any permanent readers because it was only 4 months old so i thought about to make a new blog from scratch, last month that blog turned PR1 and was having 100-200 (or sometimes more) traffic per day.

Now the real greediness started i thought i should be having that traffic on techeisouls reason TS is updated and live blog, i googled around and found many ways to do this some ways were tricky and needed sometime in it but i knew there is a simplest way around and finally found out that i can do this by .htaccess 301 redirect with only and only one command.

Now to the point following code is what you should put into your .htaccess file which you can find on your website or blog root. (example techiesouls .htaccess file is in directory where its main index.php is) just edit your .htaccess file with notepad or edit it with your online file manager.

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

As for example i’ll show you by putting my old website link to demonstrate.

www.Stylusouls.com < this link will turn you back to TechieSouls

with this easiest way all your posts and pages will also be redirected to your new website so you don’t loose even one hit. for example every StyluSouls url will be redirected to TechieSouls main page.
