There are many ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding can be done 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 may create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has many practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are making contact with customers or partners. If you have two very similar Internet sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the traffic to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and work on it.
