There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you can redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with clients or partners. In case you have 2 very similar websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other Internet site so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first website and develop it.
