Your idea with htaccess was correct. You will have to implement this via the Apache Conf. So htaccess will add its content to the Apache configuration.

However, not all Apache servers are configured to accept all htaccess commands.

So, please check your main Apache config if it allows to override anything and if the redirect module is enabled.

Also note, that it is not a good idea to write host names in capital letters, as they may be case sensitive. www != WWW

As for the syntax, you might need to include the protocol.

Redirect permanent /one http://www.newdomain.com/two
