Create a 301 redirect from cpanel or follow the below steps

Add this in your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newsoft.com/$1 [R=301,L] 

If not exist then create one

It will redirect www.mysoftware.com/page.php to www.newsoft.com/page.php

Hope it helps

should i restore old database on new domain?

Yes. If you are using the new site it has to have a new database.

It should have given you an error when you tried it.
