URL Redirector
What exactly is a URL Redirector and just how does URL redirection work?
There are a lot of ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you could forward the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have two similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the traffic to the other website so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first site and develop it.
