2. www.forums.hostsearch.com

Just use 301 redirect. You use Canonical tag only when you want to keep the page live but pass on benefits to some other page.

1. 301 Redirection is the coding to move old page's data and content to new page permanently
2. Canonical Tag is to use to prevent website page's content duplication.

301 Redirect – A permanent redirect rule from one URL to another.
Canonical tag-used to describe when multiple pages have very similar content

Canonical tag- This tag used to describe when multiple pages have very similar content to prevent the content duplication.

301 Redirect - This is used to redirect old page content into new page Permanently.

We have to add canonical tag to each webpages while 301 redirect code once in .htaccess file.
