There are many ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you may forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active if you are getting in touch with clients or partners. When you have two similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may forward the traffic to the other site so that you can prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and improve it.
