URL redirection allows you to forward traffic from one Internet site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain name is hosted, meaning that you'll still have the ability to set up fully functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, even though it will not be accessible directly. If you have a site, for instance, but you want to launch one or a variety of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them with no problem. When a visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they will be forwarded to the existing site. In this way, you'll not miss customers while creating the localized Internet sites.
