I moved my wordpress blog from blog.domain.info to domain.net
i own both the tld domains.

google search already had the posts from old url indexed. if someone clicks in it it shows 404 error.

how do i redirect the traffic from old url to new url via htaccess. I dont want duplicate post on google. how to make the transition?

please advice....i am confused with many online articles about htaccess redirect.

Hello
are you migrating the server too or same server?

install backup buddy plugin in your old wordpress site take a backup.
reupload everything on your server, including backupbuddy.php file fallow on screen instruction to get your site on a new domain.
hope it will work for you
Cheers
 
you can put this code in head section of ur website and replace url with your new site

Code: 
<head>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url="newurl"/>
