There are many ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you can redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have two similar sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other Internet site to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first website and develop it.
