There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has several practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you could forward the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in the event that you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have two similar websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the website visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.
