There are two services you'll need for a working site - a domain name and a website hosting plan for it. If you type the domain name in your Internet browser, you see the content that is uploaded within the web 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 does not have any content of its own. As a substitute, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” webpage from the registrar company, or it could be forwarded to any other URL of your choice. The advantage of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and ensure that no one else is going to take it. In the meantime, it's not going to block a slot for a hosted Internet domain inside your account. In addition, you can 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 Shared Website Hosting

When you have a Linux shared website hosting packages through us, you will be able to park any of your domains easily. The function is available for the domain names registered with us, but not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from another company, since a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will allow you to pick from a number of templates and you are going to be able to add your own text to each of them. Redirecting a domain to an alternative URL is as easy as simply typing the Internet address and saving it. If you decide to host any of your parked domain addresses, 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, creating the necessary DNS records, etc. For simpler management, you're going to be able to filter the domain addresses registered inside the account by their status - parked or hosted.
