How do I 301 redirect to a New Domain

[richard2011]

I wish to do a 301 redirect when I move my old site using prestashop 1.4 on an old domain to a new site still using prestashop 1.4 but on a new domain in the root not a sub folder.

 

Ie 301 redirect from www.oldsite.co.uk /shop / to www.newsite.com

 

I have looked at the 301 redirect codes but there seems to be so many variations.

 

I know it goes in the .htacess folder and starts with ReWright Engine On but after that I am lost

 

Can any one show me the code to do a 301 from my old site using the folder /shop/ to my new site in the root.

 

Any help appreciated

 

Thank you
