THE BASICS
What Is an .htaccess Redirect?
The .htaccess file is a configuration file used by the Apache web server (and LiteSpeed). Adding redirect rules to it lets you send visitors and search engines from an old address to a new one — after a page move, a redesign, a domain change or when you want one consistent version of your site.
A 301 redirect tells search engines the move is permanent so they pass the old page's signals to the new one; a 302 says it is temporary.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few things, answered.
Quick answers about using the MoSanKit Htaccess Redirect Generator.
Add them near the top of the .htaccess file in your site's root folder. On WordPress, put them above the "# BEGIN WordPress" block.
No. These rules are for Apache and LiteSpeed. Nginx and IIS use different configuration syntax.
A 301 is a permanent move — search engines transfer the old URL's ranking signals. A 302 is temporary and keeps the original URL indexed.
The Redirect directive matches the start of a path. Use specific paths, and place more specific rules before general ones.
Yes. When both are chosen they are combined into a single redirect, so visitors are not sent through two hops.
A mistake can take a site offline, so always keep a backup of the original file and test your changes immediately.
