There are two separate services you need for a working site - a domain plus a hosting plan for it. Whenever you type the Internet domain in your browser, you see the content that is uploaded within the web hosting account, but if that domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. Put simply, the domain address is registered and you're its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. Rather, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” webpage from the registrar company, or it may be directed to any other URL of your choice. The advantage of parking a domain is that you can keep it and make sure that nobody else will take it. In the meantime, it will not block a slot for a hosted domain address in your account. You may also park domains if you have a .com, for example, and you register domains with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main website as a way to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Hosting

When you have a hosting from our company, you'll be able to park any of your domain names easily. The function is available for the domain names registered through our company, but not for the ones that are only hosted here and pointed from another company, as a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will permit you to choose from a number of templates and you'll be able to add custom text to each of them. Redirecting a domain name to an alternative URL is as easy as just typing the web address and saving it. If you decide 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, creating the necessary DNS records, etc. For much easier control, you're going to be able to filter the domain names registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
