There are two services you need for a working site - a domain plus a hosting plan for it. When you type the domain name in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded in the website hosting account, but if that Internet domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it is parked. Put simply, the 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” Internet page from the registrar company, or it can be directed to some other URL of your choice. The benefit of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and make sure that nobody else is going to take it. Meanwhile, it will not take a slot for a hosted domain inside your account. You can also park domains if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domain names with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main website in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Shared Hosting
When you have a shared hosting from us, you are going to be able to park all of your domain names effortlessly. The feature is available for the domains registered with our company, but not for the ones which are only hosted here and directed from another company, because a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will enable you to pick from a number of templates and you will be able to add custom text to any of them. Forwarding a domain address to an alternative URL is as easy as simply typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domain names, it takes only a 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 easier management, you're going to be able to filter the domain names registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
