Change Domains But Keep Your Traffic – .htaccess 301s
Changing domains was a big decision. My biggest concern was being able to keep my user, RSS feed, and search engine traffic. Luckily, the power of the .htaccess file allowed me to do so:

Quick, easy, and functional.

One more note. I recommend keeping your old domain for at least a year. Make sure to give users and search engines time to update.
