Recently, when I had a domain change, I needed something in order to transfer all of my traffic from the old domain to the new one. So I used .htaccess for the redirection.
You can also use this, by typing the following in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*oldwebsite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.preferredwebsite.net/$1 [R=301,L]
Replace oldwebsite\.com with the current website and replace http://www.preferredwebsite.net with the new website URL where you want to redirect the traffic to.
