There are various ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain 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 could set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you can redirect the site visitors, but the emails 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 similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other Internet site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.
