301'ing domain to an addon domain

[JasonJackson]

My googlefu failed me in finding this...

How to 301 a domain to an addon domain? Domain structure is as follows:

http://addondomain.maindomain.com/

http://www.maindomain.com/addondomain/

http://www.addondomain.com/   <--(addon domain has its own domain as well)

I want main domain to all point to the addon domain like so:

http://www.maindomain.com/   -->  http://www.addondomain.com/

You can use .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} \maindomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

EDIT: This can also help you and give you more in depth and options to what you want to do.

that works close... how can I redirect

www.maindomain.com/somepage/  -->www.addondomain.com   ?

as opposed to the current:

www.maindomain.com/somepage/  -->www.addondomain.com/somepage/

Got it to work with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} \maindomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.com/ [R=301,L]
