There are times when you may need guidance on website redirection. For instance, you have a business website, example.com, which receives good traffic, but you’ve decided to close it and move the business to a new site, mynewbusiness.com. Rather than shutting down example.com entirely, you can redirect its traffic to mynewbusiness.com, ensuring that the existing visitors to example.com are not lost.
