There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you can forward the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active if you are communicating with clients or partners. If you have 2 very similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the site visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first site and work on it.
