You want to move your site to new domain and dont want to lose your page rank in google search engine.This post has contains some instructions that how to use redirect your site with http 301 permenantly moved status code.
301 means the requested resource has been assigned to a new permanent Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and any future references to this resource should be done using one of the returned URIs.
1) use 301 Redirect (see httpmodule code in below). and make page to page basis redirection.
2) Find external links by googling “link:www.yoursite.com”. If some of them has static links to “yoursite”, we must inform the webmasters to change the link.
3) Track broken links with Xenu (this is an automated tool, that checks all links in a web site and prepare a report about broken links etc.)
5) Add your new site’s url to Google Web Administration Tools.
6) Prepare a new site map and add this to Google Web Administration Tools.
7) Check SiteMap details page from time to time, to see how many URL’s google indexed from the new domain.
