There are two separate services that you’ll need for a working website - a domain name and a web hosting plan for it. When you type the domain in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded in the web hosting account, but if that Internet domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it is parked. To put it differently, the domain 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” page from the registrar company, or it can be directed to some other URL of your choice. The main benefit of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and ensure that no one else is going to take it. At the same time, it won't take a slot for a hosted domain name in your account. In addition, you can park domains if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domains with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main site as a way to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Hosting
With each and every hosting plan we offer you can park as many domain addresses as you want and in contrast to other companies, we do not have any service fees for that. Naturally, this can be done just for domains that are registered through our company as parking a domain is possible only with the registrar, and not through the host unless you have the two services with just one company. We have got a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can quickly park and un-park domains, pick one of the templates we offer and add custom text to it, or forward a domain name to a URL of your choice. 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 domains, which will enable you to handle them really easy.
