There are various ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name 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 could create email addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you can forward the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are communicating with clients or partners. In case you have 2 identical sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the traffic to the other site so that you can prevent losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and work on it.
