There are a number of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you may redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active in case you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have two identical websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could forward the website visitors to the other site to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.
