There are two services that you’ll need for a functioning site - a domain name and a website hosting plan for it. Any time you type the Internet domain in your web browser, you see the content that is uploaded inside the website hosting account, but if that Internet domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. Put simply, the Internet domain is registered and you are its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. Rather, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” Internet page from the registrar company, or it could be forwarded to some other URL of your choice. The main advantage of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and make sure that no one else is going to take it. Meanwhile, it's not going to take a slot for a hosted Internet domain inside your account. You can also park domains if you have a .com, for example, and you register domains with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main website in order 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 feature is offered for the domain addresses registered with us, but not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from some other company, since a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will enable you to select from a variety of templates and you'll be able to include your own text to any of them. Forwarding a domain name to another URL is as easy as just typing the web address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domains, it takes only a click to do it and our system will do the rest - changing the name servers, creating a domain folder in your account, creating the necessary DNS records, etc. For easier control, you'll be able to filter the domain addresses registered within the account by their status - parked or hosted.
