There are a lot of ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has several practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you may forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with customers or partners. If you have two identical Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the visitors to the other Internet site in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and develop it.
