There are two separate services you need for a functioning website - a domain and a hosting plan for it. If you type the domain name in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded inside the hosting account, but if that domain address is not linked to such an account or to an email service, it's parked. In other words, the domain name is registered and you are its owner, but it lacks 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 may be directed to any other URL of your choice. The benefit of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and make sure that nobody else is going to take it. In the meantime, it will not occupy a slot for a hosted domain address in your account. You may also park domain names if you have a .com, for example, and you register domain addresses 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 Hosting
When you have a hosting with us, you will be able to park all of your domain names effortlessly. The feature is available for the domain addresses registered with our company, and not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from another company, because a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will permit you to select from a variety of templates and you are going to be able to add custom text to any of them. Redirecting a domain name to a different URL is as easy as simply typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domains, it takes simply 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 easier administration, you're going to be able to filter the domain names registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
