There are a number of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. 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 can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you may forward the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are communicating with clients or partners. If you have two very similar Internet sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.
