You have shifted your site to a new domain, and you want to make the transition as smooth as possible. 2. When your site can be accessed through different URLs, for example; user can reach to your homepage in multiple ways such as http://example.com/home, http://home.example.com or www.example.com. In this case, you can choose one of your URL as your main or preferred (canonical) destination, and use 301 redirect to send traffic from the other URLs to your preferred URL. 3. When two websites are merged and the links to outdated URLs are required to be redirected to the correct pages.
