There are a lot of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name 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 could 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 address, you can redirect the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with customers or partners. When you have two very similar sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you may forward the website visitors to the other site in order to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and develop it.
