There are a number of ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding can be done 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 e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may forward the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in case you are communicating with clients or partners. In case you have 2 very similar Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the website visitors to the other website so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.
