Redirect old domain pages to new root domain

uwat · Jun 18, 2022

I have an old domain that I want to redirect to a new domain.

I want all the old pages to the new root domain like:

https://www.olddomain.com/oldpage1 > https://www.newdomain.com
https://www.olddomain.com/oldpage2 > https://www.newdomain.com
https://www.olddomain.com/oldpage3 > https://www.newdomain.com

Now if I redirect the entire site through directadmin this happens:

https://www.olddomain.com/oldpage1 > https://www.newdomain.com/oldpage1

I dont want that. The new site allready has good seo.

How would I achieve this?

With a url redirect, include the domain only and point it to the new domain

https://www.olddomain.com/ -> https://www.newdomain.com/

A simple online search:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1945568/htaccess-redirect-all-pages-to-new-domain
so it'll be something like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

or even easier:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [R=301]
