I agree with craigmn3
You will not get the same ranking if you just redirect the URL and shut down the old site.
It takes time to get back on track in a term of ranking with a new name. I would suggest doing it slowly. Add the fresh content to a new web site and make sure it does not fully dublicate the content of existing one.
Also, keep in mind that if you took care about linking from other web sites, you will have to go back and ask all of your sponsors to correct (or better add!) a new link. You may be good with keywords but
PR matters.
On another note, as it was mentioned above, if you host the site on Apache web server, just use the control panel and set the 301 redirect there (no coding is required!).
