I have no direct experience in this either, but I think this is the key point: “changing the actual registrantâ€™s name on the domain in case itâ€™s reset”.

I saw a video a while ago, I think by shoemoney, that said Google was using its registrar status to check if a domain had changed hands then nuking the link profile if it was 301′d

Yes. I’m taking about redirecting to keep rankings, not redirect users

I use it when user clicks the login button and is successful.
Would this be the correct method.

You’re not using meta refresh to redirect are you – that’s bad. There is nothing wrong with redirects as long as the intent is ethical.

Don’t listen to everything you read on the web

I would think that google would lower your rank. I read on another site that redirects are bad for your Google rank.
To redirect i use:

The content : 3 is for the time in seconds.
login.php is for the page to redirect to.
