The main types I know of are:

  1. doing a 301 redirect in htaccess, by putting few lines in the .htaccess file, all requests are automatically redirected to a new address.

  2. doing a CNAME redirect (not even sure if that is a real re-direct ?), but if I want all requests to a.domain.com to be handled by b.domain com, I can add a CNAME record for the b subdomain to point to a.domain.com

What else, and what is the best practice of using each ?
