redirect a domain using htaccess permenantly

Question

I am having a site with two domains pointing to the same site. Lets say domain1.com & domain2.com

I want to do a permanent redirect of the domain1.com to domain2.com, so that anyone who visit the site from domain1 even if Google crawler, it should be redirected to the domain2. I want to do this from htaccess. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible.

put in your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)domain1.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
