Easiest way is with .htaccess

If the structure of the sites (directories and filenames) are identical, 
you can do it with one line:

Redirect permanent /          http://www.example.com/

What this does is takes any URL that starts with a / and adds everything 
after the slash to the new domain

For example, suppose your website is currently at 
www.example.org/mysite/mysubdirectory/. If you put the above line in the 
htaccess file in mydirectory then the url

http://www.example.org/mysite/mysubdirectory/myfile.html

will become

http://www.example.com/mysubdirectory/myfile.html

If the new site doesn't have the same structure, then you need to add 
individual lines for the individual files as well.

For example, to redirect

http://www.example.org/mysite/file.html

to

http://www.example.com/anotherdirectory/file.html

you would put in the line

Redirect permanent 
/file.html          http://www.example.com/anotherdirectory/file.html

If you are using apache, or an apache compatible server, the relevant 
documentation is at

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html
