There are a lot of ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you may forward the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in case you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have 2 similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other site so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first site and develop it.
