URL redirection permits you to forward traffic from one website to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain name by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only when the domain is hosted, consequently you will still be able to create entirely functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, although it won't be accessible directly. If you have a site, for instance, but you want to launch one or many localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them without any difficulty. If a site visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing Internet site. In this way, you shall not miss potential customers while creating the localized websites.
