First you need to create a .htaccess file [read .htaccess and SEO article to find out how to create such file] and put the following code into it:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
and change www.newdomain.com to your new domain name. Put the changed .htaccess file into a root folder on old domain name. That way you will redirect permanently all traffic from your old domain name to new one.
Done! You expected something more complicated?
