There are many ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could 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 kind of feature has many practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you may forward the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in case you are making contact with customers or partners. In case you have 2 similar websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may forward the site visitors to the other Internet site to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.
