There are a number of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, 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 if you have a direct link to it and you may create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you may forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active whenever you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have two identical sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can forward the visitors to the other Internet site in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first website and improve it.
