URL Redirector

Exactly what is a URL Redirector and how does URL redirection work?

When you have a lot of domains with different extensions and you want all of them to open the same website, you may have the website under one of them and redirect the others. There are different approaches to forward one domain to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your hosting package permits it, though, it shall be better if you host all of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you may still have content for it, set up subdomains, e mail addresses, and many others., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of those things. For instance, if you are building localized websites under various country-code Internet domain names, you will be able to work on them, but at the same time, visitors shall be forwarded to the main website.
