There are a number of ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you could forward the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active if you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 similar websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the website visitors to the other website so that you can avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first site and improve it.
