There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can 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 type of feature has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you can forward the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active in case you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have two very similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may forward the website visitors to the other website to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and develop it.
