: 301 Redirect vs. Domain Fowarding GoDaddy I have a domain that is registered (but not hosted with GoDaddy). Previously, it used GoDaddy's domain forwarding to forward the domain to a google sites
I have a domain that is registered (but not hosted with GoDaddy). Previously, it used GoDaddy's domain forwarding to forward the domain to a google sites domain, but I would now like to use a 301 redirect on the domain.
What I've Tried - I was looking at how to make .htaccess 301 redirects, but then I noticed the following on GoDaddy when looking at the domain forwarding.
This looks as though it is using a 301 redirect. Is this sufficient to serve as a 301 redirect? Essentially, is it the same thing?

GoDaddy has complete instructions for using their forwarding and masking tool.
To redirect your domain to another in a way that is search engine friendly you need to select the following options:
Redirect type: 301 (Permanent)
Forward settings: Forward only
You have chosen "forward with masking" which uses frame redirect rather than 301 permanent redirects. If you change the setting to "forward only", you should be fine.
