You can redirect a site at a domain level or the ....spooky technical level.

This is the correct answer that everyone needs to understand. If TheDonald domain points to an address, you can literally just change the content at that address to a splash page with a redirect button. Easy.

This^ you just create a new page that is linked to the url. Then redirect the rest of the site to the new one. Very easy to do.

Bingo.

I imagine when the mods did this, they had to change the server call so that when a client requests "www.thedonald .win", instead of going to our homepage.html the server just pointed at "thedonaldisevolving.html"
