If you want to redirect all the visitors including search engine robots from your existing (old) web site (all the pages, not just the index page) to a new address, simply place the following at the end of .htaccess file in the root directory of your old web space:



Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yournewsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Replace yournewsite.com with your new site address.

You can double check the redirection using this tool.
