How to apply a redirect for a website or RSS feed (301 or 302)

If you're using PHP, you can just add this to the top of your script:

header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] . ' 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Status: 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/new-rss-feed');
exit();

To apply the redirect and register the change, you can employ .htaccess to redirect requests from the old feed to the new one.

Feel free to check this article on askapache, where you will learn how to make this adjustment.

1. Go to the Start menu > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > select the site you want to work on;
2. Open the URL Rewrite module (if you can't find it, you need to install it from Microsoft's website) > click on Add Rules (in the right-hand corner of the screen);
3. Select Blank Rule under the Inbound Rules section and click OK > On the Edit Inbound Rule page, type a name for the new rule, like Old Page Redirect or Old Domain Redirect;
4. Navigate  to the Match URL panel > set the requested URL at Matches the Pattern and then choose Using as Regular Expressions.
5. Decide if you’re redirecting a single page, a group of pages, or an entire domain but make sure that “ignore case” is checked:
   
   
   • To redirect a single page, type in the page name under Pattern. e.g. input website/how-to-apply-a-301-redirect/ in the Pattern field.
   • To redirect the entire site, type (.*) in the Pattern field.
   • To redirect a group of pages on within the same, e.g. SEO folder, input seo/(.*)
     
     
6. Go down to the action panel > click on the Action Type drop-down menu and select Redirect.
7. Type the new URL in Action Properties.
   If it’s a single page, type the single page. If it’s the entire domain or a group of pages, type the new destination with a back reference, i.e. {R:0}. which will keep all page URLs intact with the new domain (e.g. https://www.solutionbay.com -> https://www.solbay.com/{R:0});
8. Check Append Query String, if you use tracking parameters and you want them to carry through;
9. Select Permanent (301) in the Redirect type field; 
10. If you want to review the redirect, go back to rules in the Actions column;
11. Click Apply at the top right in the Actions column to save the redirect;

Once the redirect is saved, the rules you created can be found into the web.config file, which you can edit whenever you want.
