There are a lot of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may redirect the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active whenever you are communicating with customers or partners. If you have two similar websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the site visitors to the other Internet site so that you can avoid losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first site and work on it.

Setting up a new redirection is rather easy - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect just the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users also, including the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you can disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the CP.
