There are two services that you need for a working website - a domain name and a hosting plan for it. If you type the domain address in your browser, you see the content that’s uploaded within the hosting account, but if that domain name isn't linked to such an account or to an email service, it is parked. In other words, the domain name is registered and you're its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. Instead, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it can be forwarded to any other URL of your choice. The main benefit of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and make certain that nobody else is going to take it. In the meantime, it's not going to block a slot for a hosted Internet domain within your account. You may also park domains if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domains with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main web site in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Shared Hosting
With each and every shared hosting package which we offer you will be able to park as many domain names as you want and in contrast to other companies, we do not have any service fees for that. Needless to say, you can do this exclusively for domain names that are registered through us because parking a domain is possible only through the registrar, and not through the host unless you have both services with just one company. We have a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can easily park and un-park domains, choose one of the templates we offer and add custom text to it, or forward a domain to a URL of your choice. If you host a parked domain address, our system will modify its name servers and create a folder in the File Manager automatically. Also you can set filters and see only the parked or only the hosted domain addresses, which will enable you to manage them easy and fast.
