    The important SEO lesson here is: In most cases, do not use a 302 redirection. You (normally) want the search engines to remember the _new_ location and not keep the old one. A lot of redirects use 302 as it is default (at least in PHP), but 301 would be better in most cases. in short:

    If you change location of a site, always* use a 301-redirection from old to new site.

    * unless you really know what you’re doing

    This is a good overview. Everything makes sense but it’s good to get some clarity on the 500 errors’ (500 and 503)

  3. Easy to understand, and true :-)
