There are various ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could forward the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are getting in touch with customers or partners. When you have 2 identical sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could forward the visitors to the other website so that you can prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and improve it.
