There are a lot of ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain 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 may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you could forward the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in case you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have two similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the traffic to the other site to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and develop it.
