301 redirect to new domain and new name folder

Question

I'm going to change my domain name but also need to change and one folder name on url structure. I want "www.example.com/name" to become "new-example.com/new-name".

I have this code for .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(?:name/?)?(.*)$ http://new-example.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

but this code remove "name" folder on redirected links. How can i change folder name and not remove it?

Answer 1

Would this work?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^name/(.*)$ http://new-example.com/new-name/$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

Answer 2

Try this rule as your very first rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^name(/.*)?$ http://new-example.com/new-name$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-example.com/$1 [L,R=301,NE]
