There are various ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you could forward the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 very similar Internet sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the traffic to the other website so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and work on it.
