There are a number of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. 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 can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may redirect the traffic, but the emails with the old one will still be active whenever you are communicating with clients or partners. When you have 2 similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the site visitors to the other website to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.
