Either create, or append to a ".htaccess" file (uploaded to the document root folder):
HTML Code:
Redirect 301 / http://www.new-domain.co.uk
Which will redirect all requests to the new domain. But I don't know to what degree you can expect to pass on any
PR or benefits from the backlinks for the old domain to the other domain.
Maybe it would be more beneficial to stick up a holding page on the old domain (related to the anchor text of the backlinks) and stick a link to the subject related other domain.
If the backlinks to the old domain are pointed at directories/sub pages of the old domain, you could redirect those to the holding page. Again, with .htaccess, something like:
HTML Code:
RewriteEngine On
# non www requests to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# single page redirection
Redirect 301 /old-page.html http://www.old-domain.co.uk/
# multiple matches redirection
RedirectMatch 301 ^/old-directory/ http://www.old-domain.co.uk/
