If you'd like to register a domain name to make sure that no one else is going to take it, but you haven't built the web site for it yet, you may park it. It's a service that registrar companies provide when a domain is not linked to any web or e mail hosting service. By doing this, you'll be able to protect a brand name, for instance, and you'll own the domain name in question although it won't open any content. If you want, you can select some standard template that the registrar offers, such as For Sale or Under Construction, you can also direct the domain name to another web address. The second option is extremely helpful in case you own a number of domain names, but you want all of them to open the same website. As an illustration, you could register domain.net and domain.org, then park them and direct them to domain.com. In this example, you'll need hosting for the third domain address only and the traffic to the other ones will be redirected to it.
Parked Domains in Cloud Website Hosting
With each and every cloud website hosting package which we offer you are able to park as many domain names as you want and in contrast to other companies, we don't have any service fees for that. Needless to say, this can be done just for domain names which are registered through us as parking a domain is possible only through the registrar, and not through the host unless you have the two services with the same company. We have a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can effortlessly park and un-park domain addresses, pick one of the templates we offer and add custom text to it, or forward a domain address to a URL of your preference. If you host a parked domain, our system will modify its name servers and set up a folder in the File Manager automatically. You can also set filters and see only the parked or only the hosted domain names, that will permit you to control them really easy.
