A parked domain name is one which is taken, however it's not linked to another service - web or email hosting. Put simply, such a domain name will not load any real content when you type it in an Internet browser, but nobody else can take it as you've already registered it and you are its owner. The best thing about acquiring a domain and parking it afterwards is the fact that you will be able to keep it and not stress that someone else may register it meanwhile if, for instance, the site for it is not ready yet. You may set a temporary Under Construction page for a parked domain while you're working on your site, or direct it to some other web address - temporarily or permanently. The second option can be employed when you have already registered domain.com, for instance, and you acquire domain.net and domain.org, so as to protect a brand name or a trademark. In cases like this, the .net and .org domain addresses can be parked and directed to the .com as you do not need separate sites for them.

Parked Domains in Shared Website Hosting

When you have a shared website hosting with our company, you'll be able to park each of your domains easily. The feature is offered for the domains registered through our company, and not for the ones which are only hosted here and pointed from some other company, as a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will permit you to pick from a variety of templates and you are going to be able to include custom text to each of them. Forwarding a domain address to a different URL is as easy as only typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domain addresses, it takes just 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, setting up the necessary DNS records, etc. For easier control, you'll be able to filter the domains registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
