There are various ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain 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 email addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has many practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you could forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active if you are making contact with clients or partners. If you have two identical websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can forward the traffic to the other site to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.
