There are 2 services that you’ll need for a functioning website - a domain name plus a website hosting plan for it. Any time you type the domain name in your browser, you see the content that’s uploaded within the web hosting account, but if that domain isn't linked to such an account or to an email service, it's parked. Put simply, the Internet domain is registered and you're its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. Instead, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it could be directed to any other URL of your choice. The main advantage of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and ensure that no one else is going to take it. At the same time, it won't block a slot for a hosted Internet domain within your account. In addition, you can park domains if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domains with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main site as a way to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting plans through our company, you're going to be able to park all of your domain names with ease. The function is offered for the domain addresses registered with us, and not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from another company, since a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will enable you to select from a number of different templates and you're going to be able to include your own text to each of them. Redirecting a domain name to a new URL is as easy as only typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domain names, it takes just a mouse click to do it and our system will do the rest - changing the name servers, setting up a domain folder in your account, creating the required DNS records, etc. For easier control, you're going to be able to filter the domain addresses registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
