There are many 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 can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has several practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active whenever you are getting in touch with customers or partners. If you have 2 similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may forward the site visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first website and improve it.
