There are various ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could 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 sort of function has many practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you can forward the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with clients or partners. When you have two very similar websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could forward the website visitors to the other site to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and develop it.
