301 redirects are used to permanently move a site to a new location. Search engines do not apply penalties to 301 redirects the way they apply them to many other types of redirects.

301 is the permanent redirection of page any page, for example if we developed a new website and want the search engines should know the new location. we can used a 301 redirection for your old domain to new domain.

In the language of HTTP the status code 301 means that the page requested has been permanently moved to a new location. This code encourages clients accessing the URL to change their database to the new location as the page will never return at the requested location.

It means URL is permanently moved to another one.

A 301 redirect tells the search engine that the page has moved permanently to the new URL. A 302 redirect tells the search engine that the move is only temporary, earch engines handle 301 redirects the same but Search engines handle 302 redirects very differently thats why i think 301 redirect is better.

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one URL to another. 301 redirects send site visitors and search engines to a different URL than the one they originally typed into their browser or selected from a search engine results page
