URL redirection enables you to redirect traffic from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name is hosted, consequently you shall still have the ability to create completely functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, even though it shall not accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for instance, but you'd like to launch one or a variety of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them without a problem. In case a visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing Internet site. This way, you won't miss customers while developing the localized Internet sites.

For more experienced users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match).
