There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you could forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have 2 identical sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could forward the site visitors to the other website in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first website and develop it.
