URL redirection allows you to forward visitors from one website to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain is hosted, and therefore you shall still be able to set up 100% functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, though it shall not accessible directly. If you currently have a website, for instance, but you want to launch one or a variety of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them with no difficulty. In case a visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing site. This way, you won't miss customers while developing the localized Internet sites.
