There are a lot of ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially 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 type of feature has several practical uses - if you want to switch your domain address, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active in case you are getting in touch with clients or partners. When you have two similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the site visitors to the other site so as to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and work on it.
