Free Code to Improve Your SEO Ranking

The way Val is suggesting is the most efficient way to do a 301 redirect that I know of.

However, appending htaccess is sort of like tweaking your php ini files and adding speed boosts and memory access rules. You can do all those things, but there is a possibility you might break something if you don't know what you're doing. The chance of breaking something using cpanel is lower.

If you know what you're doing(you have ability to debug if you break it) vals way is better.

NOODP and Canonicals are also important for a website.

I have to admit that Val was right. My way works, but it is a lot clunkier. Editing the .htaccess file in your root directory allows you to quickly make global changes to both current and future pages.

I wish I was smart enough to understand half the the stuff yall are talking about when it comes to seo and websites.
