Very often you will need to apply a 301 redirect to your Drupal website. You can do so by adding the following codes to your .htaccess file in the Drupal root directory. If you don't redirect either "non-www to www" or "www to non-www" search engines such as Google consider your www and non-www website as "duplicated content", what might be penalised. Another important case is the redirection of an old domain to a new domain. The code below, redirects not only the root domain, but all paths/files, what is absolutely key in most cases.
Generic redirect non-www to www in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Generic redirect non-www to www https in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Generic redirect www to non-www in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Generic redirect www to non-www https in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Redirect an old domain to a new domain in .htaccess
Works for http and https, but SSL certificate has to be active, otherwise first error "site not secure"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
Redirect an old domain to one particular page in .htaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?name-of-domain\.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.name-der-domain.de/unterseite.html [R=301,L]
