301 Redirect
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but a client of mine has two domains, and would like 2nd domain to point to the 1st website via a 301 redirect.
I have redirected sites using frames before (which is probably what they don't want), so what redirect is the 301 one?
Enlightenment on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the links, but it doesn't quite explain what it is. Can anyone give me an example of it so I understand it correctly?

Permanent redirect, so it does two things:
1. Redirects users to the (new) destination
2. Tells browsers and robots that the original domain/page has been moved permanently

It's a HTTP response that tells user agents that the URI requested has moved and where it can be found

create a file called .htaccess, inside put
redirect 301 /2nd domain/ http://www.1st domain/
then upload that your root directory (base folder)
