How can I redirect visitors from my old domain to this new domain?

Seems simple enough right? Well.... when I asked ....

This is what IT support sent me:

Hello, our software can only use one url, so you would need to use domain forwarding or .htaccess redirect to re-direct the others to your url here of forum.theworldnewsmedia.org

Now I need to go research domain forwarding.....  Anyone have a better answer for me?

I figured it out after a little reading.

Tips for deciding which type of forwarding to use:

If you want your domain name to stay in the address bar of the browser use URL Frame. This hides the true address of the website to which your domain is forwarding (e.g., if you're forwarding www.example.com to http://www.example.org/www/images/website the address that will appear in the browser would be http://www.example.com).

NOTE: When the user clicks on a link, your domain will no longer appear in the address bar. Sometimes if you are forwarding your website in a frame it may cause problems with navigation or the scripting on a website.

If you simply want your domain to point to a different website, use URL Redirect. This forwards the domain to the other website and the domain you are forwarding will not appear in the address bar. This may be useful if you have a main company domain, and have a few other domains that you want to point to the main domain.

If you are unsure you can always try both and see what suits you best.
