URL redirection permits you to forward visitors from one website to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain address by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL redirection is possible provided that the domain is hosted, and thus you will still be able to set up 100% functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, even though it won't be accessible directly. If you currently have a website, for example, but you would like to launch one or several localized websites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them without any problem. In case a website visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they shall be redirected to the existing Internet site. This way, you won't miss customers while developing the localized websites.
