There are many ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you may forward the traffic, but the emails with the old one shall still be active if you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have 2 similar Internet sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the traffic to the other site so as to avoid losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and improve it.

You'll only need to pick a domain address or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to choose the folder where the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL where the website visitors must be forwarded to.
