URL redirection permits you to redirect site visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain address by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name is hosted, consequently you will still be able to set up completely functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, although it will not be accessible directly. If you have a site, for instance, but you would like to launch one or several localized websites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them with no problem. When a site visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they'll be forwarded to the existing website. That way, you will not miss customers while building the localized Internet sites.
