There are two services that you’ll need for a functioning web site - a domain name plus a web hosting plan for it. If you type the Internet domain in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded within the website hosting account, but if that Internet domain is not linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. In other words, the Internet domain is registered and you are its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. As a substitute, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it could be forwarded to any other URL of your choice. The benefit of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and be sure that no one else is going to take it. At the same time, it's not going to occupy a slot for a hosted domain address within your account. You may 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 so as to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a Linux cloud web hosting packages from us, you're going to be able to park each of your domain names easily. The feature is available for the domain addresses registered with our company, and not for the ones that are only hosted here and pointed from some other company, since a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will allow you to pick from a number of templates and you're going to be able to include custom text to each of them. Forwarding a domain name to another URL is as easy as simply typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domain names, it takes just a mouse 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 administration, you will be able to filter the domains registered within the account by their status - parked or hosted.
