There are many ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain 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 set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, 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 customers or partners. If you have 2 similar Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other site to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and improve it.
