URL redirection allows you to redirect traffic from one website to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain address is hosted, consequently you shall still have the ability to create fully functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, although it will not be accessible directly. If you have a website, for instance, but you need to launch one or many localized websites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them with no problem. If a visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they will be sent to the existing Internet site. In this way, you won't miss potential clients while building the localized websites.
