There are two separate services that you need for a working web site - a domain and a hosting plan for it. When you type the Internet domain in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded in the website hosting account, but if that domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it is parked. In other words, the domain address 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” webpage from the registrar company, or it may be directed to some other URL of your choice. The advantage of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and make certain that nobody else will take it. Meanwhile, it's not going to block a slot for a hosted domain address in your account. You can also park domains if you have a .com, for example, and you register domain names with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main website in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Web Hosting
With each and every web hosting package we offer you can park as many domain addresses as you want and unlike other companies, we don't have any fees for that. However, you can do this only for domain addresses that are registered through us as parking a domain is possible only with the registrar, and not through the host unless you have both services with just one company. We've got a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can conveniently park and un-park domains, choose one of the templates that we provide and add custom text to it, or forward a domain address to a URL of your preference. If you host a parked domain, our system will modify its name servers and create a folder in the File Manager automatically. You could also set filters to check out only the parked or only the hosted domain addresses, which will permit you to handle them fast and easy.
