301 vs 302: The One Rule That Matters
301, always, unless the move is temporary:
- Point DNS — the old domain's A/CNAME or nameservers to a host you control
- .htaccess route — RewriteRule (.*) https://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] catches every path
- Registrar forwarding — the quick route for parked domains, though path-preserving 301s beat it
- Cloudflare route — Redirect Rules preserve paths without hosting the old domain
- Verify — curl -I olddomain.com/page returns 301 and the mapped new URL
Keep the redirect live at least a year — Google transfers signals gradually, and bookmarks decay slowly. The domain registration India panel manages the DNS half, and the DNS propagation guide explains the wait.
Method 1: .htaccess Rewrite Rules
On 301 permanent redirect, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
Method 2: Registrar Control-Panel Forwarding
Two practical notes on 302 temporary redirect: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.
Method 3: Cloudflare Redirect Rules
Cloudflare Redirect Rules. Do this on one site or a staging copy first, then check the public URL in a private window so cache does not hide the result. Stop if the page errors, and email support@webji.services with the step name and the exact error before you repeat it on every account.
