There are many ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you can redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active in case you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have two identical websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may forward the traffic to the other Internet site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and develop it.
