There are two services that you’ll need for a working website - a domain and a hosting plan for it. Any time you type the domain address in your browser, you see the content that’s uploaded inside the web hosting account, but if that Internet domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. To put it differently, the domain is registered and you are its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. Rather, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it can be forwarded to some other URL of your choice. The advantage of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and make sure that nobody else is going to take it. In the meantime, it will not take a slot for a hosted Internet domain within your account. You could also park domain names if you have a .com, for example, and you register domain addresses 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 Cloud Website Hosting

When you have a Linux cloud website hosting with us, you'll be able to park all of your domain names with ease. The function is offered for the domain names registered through our company, and not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from another company, because a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will permit you to choose from a number of different templates and you are going to be able to add your own text to any one of them. Forwarding a domain to a different URL is as easy as only typing the web address and saving it. If you want to host any of your parked domain names, it takes only 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 required DNS records, etc. For simpler management, you are going to be able to filter the domains registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
