Windows Server 301 redirect

I have a .net site on a shared host environment so I don't have access to other solutions that require access to the server.

If I put the following code in my current web.config, is it enough to do the 301 redirect to my-new-site.com? Thanks.

<system.webServer>
   <httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="http://www.my-new-site.com/" />
</system.webServer>

HTTP Redirection is not available on the default installation of IIS 7. You have to add it in Common Http Features for the Web Server Role. Is it enabled on your shared host ?

The correct way to do a permanent 301 redirect is : 

<system.webServer>
   <httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="http://www.my-new-site.com/" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
</system.webServer>

the default is response status is 302 (Found). More infos here.
