There are many ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection can be done 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 can create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are making contact with clients or partners. If you have two identical Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the website visitors to the other Internet site to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and develop it.
