Need help with Permanent old domain redirect to new one

So, I have a pretty old domain over 8 years old.

I want to permanently 301 redirect it to my other domain.

Can i do it with godaddy.com just redirecting the dns and verifying it.

Or, i must keep using the hosting server and redirect through .htaccess files.

What you recommend?

Any help is much appreciated.

Yes, you can redirect your old domain to your new domain using GoDaddy.com by updating the DNS settings.

Here are the steps to redirect your domain:

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account and select the domain you want to redirect.
2. Go to the "DNS" section of your domain and select "Manage"
3. Under "Forwarding" click on "Add"
4. Select "Permanent (301)" as the type of redirect, and enter your new domain in the "Forward to" field.
5. Click on "Save"

This will redirect all traffic from your old domain to your new domain permanently.

Alternatively, you can also redirect your domain using .htaccess file, if your hosting provider allows it. This method involves adding a redirect code in the .htaccess file of your old domain. Keep in mind that it may take some time for the DNS changes to take effect and the redirect to start working.

Both methods will work just fine, however, DNS redirects have an advantage of being faster and are less prone to errors. If you are not comfortable with editing .htaccess files, I would recommend using the DNS redirect method.
