Domain redirection is a process that automatically sends visitors from one web address to another. This is commonly used when you've changed your domain name, want to send traffic from multiple domains to one primary site, or need to create a shorter, more memorable URL.

There are two main types of domain redirects:

• 301 Redirect (Permanent): This tells search engines that the move is permanent, transferring most of the SEO value from the old domain to the new one. This is the recommended type for most situations.
• 302 Redirect (Temporary): This indicates a temporary change. Search engines will keep the original URL indexed, as the redirect is not meant to last.

To set up a redirect, you typically need to access your hosting account's control panel (like cPanel or Plesk) or your domain registrar's dashboard. Look for sections labeled "Redirects", "Domain Forwarding", or "URL Forwarding". You'll enter the old domain (or specific page) and the new destination URL, then select the redirect type (301 or 302).

Important: After setting up a redirect, always test it by typing your old domain into a browser to ensure it correctly takes you to the new location. Also, remember that DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate globally.

Properly redirecting your domain ensures a seamless experience for your visitors and preserves your hard-earned search engine rankings.
