htaccess file
I am moving domains. On the old domain I created an htaccess file with the following contents only:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.old.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.new.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Is this correct? Should I have any other code or text int he file?

I believe I figured out the issue. I had the DNS host pointing towards the correct spot, but I didn't realize that www, via CNAME, was still pointing towards the old host. I have rectified the mistake.

old.com/why/because
they end up on
new.com/why/because
Not to mention, if they go to www.old.com or old.com, they get forwarded to www.new.com
