use it on your .htaccess file...it is to maintain your search engine rankings.

RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Hope this helps.

301 redirection is the most efficient method for webpage redirection.The code "301" is interpreted as moved permanently.A 301 redirection is used when a website is moved to a new domain name. It preserves the search engine rankings that the site had at previous domain.

I use 301s any time I move a page to a different URL.

Sometimes if I run into problems with a domain, I will 301 the entire site to a new domain that is similar to the first one. This is a good thing to do if you need to 'start fresh' with a new domain but don't want to lose all of the work you've put into building backlinks to the first domain.

You can also use 301s from old high PR domains to push link juice to a new domain in a sneaky way, but I wouldn't recommend doing that too frequently as it's likely for Google to monitor this type of thing if they see dozens of high pr 301 redirects coming in to a new site. Especially if the 301'd urls are not related to the content it redirects to.

You should have a strong reason of doing 301 redirection. As it will wipe out the old url from search indexes completely and will transfer its value (like PR) to the new url. It is only worth the effort if your old url has some significance and you want to preserve it while moving to a new url.

Coding??? It's already provided above. You need to edit your .htaccess file and then add the code. You can edit this file through cPanel but be careful while editing it.

Plus, if you are doing 301 for a wordpress blog, you can use 301 Redirect Plugin. You can do 301 as below:

Old Domain Page -> 301 -> New Domain Page
Old Domain -> 301 -> New Domain

You can also get free 301 redirect plugins if you search, but it's more efficient directly in the .htaccess.
