@idoubtit if the path is exactly the same you can use an htaccess redirect just like you might if you went from HTTP to HTTPS. If the URL path is different, you likely have to do a little scripting where you could import the new URL as post-meta on the old post, and if the field (say new_url) is there, redirect it). How many posts are you talking, a few, dozens, hundreds? More? Are you moving all posts or just some?
@idoubtit generally you'll set these up on your web server. If you're keeping your original wordpress site online and just moving certain content, you can create the redirects using the Redirection plugin. If you're not keeping your original wordpress site online, you'll need to configure them on the hosting server for the original domain. If your server uses Apache, you should be able to do so through your .htaccess file.
@idoubtit if your hosting uses Nginx, you'll likely need to reach out to them to configure the redirects unless they give you a mechanism to create them yourself inside your hosting control panel.
