There are various ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you can redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active if you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have two similar Internet sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the traffic to the other Internet site to avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.
