There are a lot of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible 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 may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you may redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active whenever you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have 2 identical websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the traffic to the other Internet site to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.
