Sorry, one other point, using `[R]` in number two will generate a 302 redirect whereas the first, using the permanent keyword, will generate a 301.

Also note that the first one will always redirect to the root of the target domain, but the second one will redirect to the same page on the target domain.First one: (taking Daniel's comment in to account) /example redirects to http://www.domain.com/ Second one: /example redirects to http://www.domain.com/exampleFirst one is using mod_alias[1], second one is using mod_rewrite[2]. Mod rewrite has more flexibility and can handle complex situations, for simple cases mod_alias is easier to use.1 - https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_alias.html 2 - https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html On 26/06/2017 14:29, Daniel wrote:Note the first one (the redirect) will probably redirect incorrectly, target should end with a trailing slash.
