If you are looking to re-brand your business with a new domain name while preserving your current domain/website ranking and traffic, then you will need to use 301 permanent redirect.
The following are the steps that you need to do to redirect your a domain name to a new one:
1. Transfer your website to the new domain and re-brand it to the the new one.
2. Redirect your current domain name to the new domain name using 301 permanent redirect. You can do this by adding the following code to your .htaccess file on the root of your old domain:
3. Use the change of address tool at Google Webmaster to notify them about the new change.
Allow sometime for Google and other search engines to transfer the link juice and ranking of the old domain to the new one.
It is recommended to keep the old domain name redirected for 1 year.
