I am in Goddady now and only see one option for redirecting the domain I want redirected. Where are the 2 options listed in the admin there?

Put a check mark next to the domain you want forwarded, on the top it says "Forwarding", click there,
you'll see 3 options.

Temporary (301)
Permanent (302)
Forward with masking

Take your pick.

Two files which need to uploaded to your server.

Index.html (LP Redirect). You can also add Google Analytics to this index.

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=https://REDIRECT-TO-THIS-LINK.COM">
GOOGLE ANALYTICS GONE HERE
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

.htaccess file:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Does a 301 redirect need both a meta refresh and .htaccess?..

htaccess examples for single pages:
Redirect 301 /page1.html http://www.site.com/newpage1.html
Redirect 301 /page2.html http://www.site.com/something/

htaccess for entire site:

Redirect 301 / http://othersite.com/


Meta refresh can cause some problems with SEO depending on how it's used. Sometimes you don't have a choice depending on server setup, though.

You do not need both, one or the other is enough

Is this a joke?

The htaccess posted is for redirecting to HTTPS..
And putting anything other than 0 for a meta refresh is meant for other things. Meta refresh also doesn't pass along much SEO to the new domain, if anything, you might as well just start new.
