There are two separate services that you’ll need for a working website - a domain and a website hosting plan for it. When you type the Internet domain in your Internet 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 e-mail service, it is parked. In other words, the Internet domain is registered and you're its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. As a substitute, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it could be directed to some other URL of your choice. The main benefit of parking a domain is that you can keep it and ensure that no one else is going to take it. In the meantime, it will not occupy a slot for a hosted domain address within your account. You could also park domain names if you have a .com, for example, and you register domain addresses with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main site in order to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting from our company, you're going to be able to park each of your domain names effortlessly. The feature is available for the domains registered with our company, and not for the ones which are only hosted here and pointed from another company, because a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will enable you to pick from a number of templates and you'll be able to include custom text to each of them. Forwarding a domain name to another URL is as easy as simply typing the web address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domains, it takes only a mouse click to do it and our system is going to do the rest - changing the name servers, setting up a domain folder in your account, setting up the necessary DNS records, etc. For much easier management, you are going to be able to filter the domain addresses registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
