Default Moving to a new Domain

Thanks for the recommendations of the members of this website some time ago, the traffic to my website grew, and I am running out of the allowed monthly traffic.
My website has a business webpage ("sunblest.net" the 1st link in my signature below) and a hobby website (which is the 2nd link). Now I have an additional domain "hungariae.com" dedicated to my hobby website.
My old hobby pages have excellent results in Google/Yahoo. What is the best method to transfer the 200 hobby pages to the new domain, while keeping the Google/Yahoo results?
I know about adding redirects, but should each redirect go to the corresponding page on the new domain or go to the new index.htm?
Should I move them all at once or a few at a time?
Can I just redirect my old index page to the new index page and delete the old pages after a year or so (the lazy way)?
Other ideas?
Thank you

  1. I see no problem with a permanent redirect to the preferred domain.
  2. Personally I would keep the old site, and build the new site brick by brick and interlink the sites if / when it is natural / semantic.

Yes, 301 is the best redirect SEO friendly solution to transfer your domain.
