There are 2 services that you’ll need for a functioning website - a domain name plus a website hosting plan for it. Whenever you type the domain in your web browser, you see the content that is uploaded within the web hosting account, but if that domain address isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. To put it differently, the domain address is registered and you are its owner, but it lacks 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 forwarded to some other URL of your choice. The benefit of parking a domain 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 Internet domain within your account. You could also park domain names 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 web site in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Web Hosting
With each and every web hosting package we offer you will be able to park as many domains as you would like and in contrast to other companies, we do not have any fees for that. Needless to say, this can be done exclusively for domain addresses that are registered through our company as parking a domain is possible only through the registrar, and not through the host unless you have both services with the exact same company. We have a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can conveniently park and un-park domains, pick one of the templates we offer and add custom text to it, or forward a domain to a URL of your preference. If you host a parked domain, our system will change its name servers and set up a folder in the File Manager automatically. Also you can set filters to check out only the parked or only the hosted domain addresses, that will permit you to control them really easy.
