There are many ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are making contact with customers or partners. If you have two identical websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may forward the website visitors to the other site in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and work on it.
