htaccess: redirect all requests to different domain (without query arguments)

Question

How can I redirect all requests (irrespective of what page is being requested) on sub.domain.com to newdomain.com? Currently I have

Redirect 301 / http://www.newdomain.com/

When a requests comes in for domain.com/shop/product the redirect goes to newdomain.com/shop/product while it should just go to newdomain.com

Answer 1

Use Rewrite:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

Answer 2

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?olddomain\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

That will forward any GET requests.
