Show answer

Answer

  • A 301, because the move is permanent and search engines should update their index

Explanation

For a permanent move, permanent redirects (301 or 308) are common, because search engines then take over the new addresses and transfer signals. The Redirects documentation explicitly names domain changes as a typical 301 case. 307 is only the default for automatically created redirects.
