There are a number of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you may forward the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active in case you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have 2 similar Internet sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other Internet site to avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.
