There are many ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you may redirect the traffic, but the emails with the old one will still be active whenever you are getting in touch with clients or partners. If you have 2 identical websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the website visitors to the other website so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and work on it.
