htaccess Redirects

How to create a 301 Redirect using htaccess from an old URL to the new URL

• In order to redirect an old URL to the new URL you can use a 301 redirect in htaccess. Here is an example:
  redirect 301 /oldfile http://www.yourdomainname/newfile
  
  Note: You will need to replace "oldfile" , "yourdomainname" , and "newfile" with the correct values.

• To redirect all requests to domainname to www.domainname:
  # Rule for duplicate content removal: www.domain.com vs domain.com
  Options +FollowSymlinks
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
  RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
  
  Note: This .htaccess redirect only works on Linux servers with Apache Mod-Rewrite enabled. (All of Power Shift's Linux Servers has this enabled)
