There are 2 services that you’ll need for a working website - a domain name plus a website hosting plan for it. When you type the domain in your web browser, you see the content that’s uploaded in the web hosting account, but if that domain name is not linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it is parked. To put it differently, the 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” Internet page from the registrar company, or it can be forwarded to any other URL of your choice. The benefit of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and make sure that no one else will take it. At the same time, it will not take a slot for a hosted domain name inside your account. In addition, you can park domain names if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domain names with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main web site as a way to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Cloud Hosting

When you have a cloud hosting plans with us, you will be able to park all of your domains with ease. The feature is offered for the domain names registered with us, but not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from another company, as a domain name can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will enable you to select from a variety of templates and you're going to be able to include custom text to any of them. Redirecting a domain to a different 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 just a mouse click to do it and our system will do the rest - changing the name servers, creating a domain folder in your account, setting up the required DNS records, etc. For much easier management, you'll be able to filter the domains registered inside the account by their status - parked or hosted.
