Please note: Media Temple was acquired by GoDaddy in October 2013, but the two brands operated separately until February 2023, when the Media Temple brand was retired and its services were merged into GoDaddy

This post now is just a historical reference now for nostalgia only.
If you have Media Temple web hosting with the GS or Grid Service this is a really quick and easy way to setup a 301 redirect to divert all traffic from one domain to another
Step 1
After logging in go to the Account Center select Overview -> Admin
Step 2
Select File Manager
Step 3
Select Domains
Step 4
Select the domain name you want to divert the traffic AWAY from
Step 5
Select the HTML folder
Step 6
Select the .htaccess file or upload a copy of one if there isn't one there
Step 7
Add the code below to the .htaccess file substituting 'yourmainwebsite.com' for you want to divert the website to.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourmainwebsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Click save changes and you're done.
This diverts all traffic to the other site. There is a great tutorial about 301 redirect codes you can use with .htaccess giles here:

I know its a jungle out there finding the right people for website development.
But I’m here to help.
