There are multiple ways to make a 301 redirect from one part of your website to another. By far the best way is to use the .htaccess configuration file<\/a>. The 301 Redirect is a permanent redirection from one URL to another. Such redirections are useful for SEO, and other reasons but your reason to permanently redirect one URL to another is up to you.<\/p>\n

NB! Although it is called a\u00a0permanent<\/strong> redirect, you can always reverse it, by removing the instructions from your .htaccess file. Yet it is important to note that if a page was 301 redirected, Google and other search engines will accept it as permanent. Therefore, it will be a lot harder to rank the same URL once it was associated to another via a permanent redirect.<\/p>\n
