So, for obnoxious reasons there is no way for me to change the URL of my website. I can't switch hosts—the content needs to be stored where it is—so the best solution I could think of was to set up a redirect page from a website with another host that has my desired domain name with the URL example.com.
But I saw this Go Daddy article about parking your domain name and it says that when you park your domain name a temporary webpage is created. Could I park my domain name and turn this temporary webpage into a redirect to my pre-existing site?
If I can't do that, how do I setup a redirect to my existing page? Do I just need to do something like set up a google sites page, register my domain, change the google sites page URL, and then make the home page a simple redirect? Is there any simpler process?

Pointing a new URL to you old one is quite simple (this method is best used when you don't know the IP of your old URL, or it's a dynamic-based domain, such as DynDNS or a blogspot page).
First, register your domain/URL that you want to give out to people. Then, in that domain's settings, create a CNAME record that points to the old domain.
Wait for the TTL to elapse and your domain should now be routable.
