There are various ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically 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 function has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you may redirect the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with clients or partners. If you have 2 identical sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other site so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.
