There are a lot of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in case you are getting in touch with customers or partners. When you have 2 similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the site visitors to the other website to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and work on it.

The redirection will be enabled almost immediately. If you are more skillful, you will have a number of advanced options to select from as well - the redirection method (match or direct), the type (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary) etc. All redirections will be listed in exactly the same section, so when you don't require a particular one anymore, you are able to cancel it with a mouse click.

Our system shall do the rest and the forwarding shall be enabled in just seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you can select a variety of more advanced options too, most notably the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may even redirect a particular folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to change these settings anytime, and even to delete an active redirection from the same section where you have created it from the start.
