There are a number of ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has many practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you may redirect the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have 2 very similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other site to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.
