What is .htaccess?
.htaccess is a configuration file commonly used by Apache to apply directory rules, including redirects.
301 and 302 redirects
A 301 indicates a permanent change and a 302 a temporary change. Choose the status that matches the real situation.
Redirect versus RewriteRule
Redirect suits simple cases. mod_rewrite supports conditions, host changes, HTTPS, patterns and query-string control.
Migrations and canonical versions
During a domain change, keep paths when needed and avoid redirect chains by choosing one canonical version.
