There are a number of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has lots of practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active if you are communicating with customers or partners. In case you have 2 very similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the visitors to the other Internet site to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.
