Redirect Entire Website without losing Google Ranks
Client has purchased a shorter version of their domain name, old one was www.airtxinternational.com and new one is www.airtx.com
I need to redirect the entire site (apache/php) using .htacess without losing google ranks. All urls will be exactly the same, the only thing changing is the main web address above.
Can I use a simple 301 or will I need a Mod rewrite to make sure the google ranks remain in tact?

One small issue however - my home page is an html page. The rest of the site is php. I suppose I can swap index.html for index.php since it's a basic html page, and add the php code as above?
oh ok .htaccess.
If you run a linux server you will need the Apache Mod-Rewrite module enabled. Then you can make a .htaccess file in the root / of your site:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.airtx.com.com/$1 [R=301,L]
