If you want to register a domain to make certain that nobody else is going to take it, but you have not developed the web site for it yet, you could park it. This is a service that registrar companies offer whenever a domain name is not linked to any web or email hosting service. That way, you can protect a brand name, for instance, and you'll own the domain in question although it won't load any content. If you would like, you can choose some default template that the registrar provides, such as For Sale or Under Construction, or you can forward the domain to another web address. The second option is extremely helpful in case you own a number of domain names, but you want each and every one of them to open the same site. For instance, you can register domain.net and domain.org, then park them and forward them to domain.com. In this example, you will need hosting for the third domain name only and the traffic to the other ones is going to be redirected to it.
Parked Domains in Shared Hosting
When you have a Linux shared hosting from our company, you will be able to park any of your domains effortlessly. The function is available for the domains registered with us, but not for the ones which are only hosted here and directed from another company, because a domain name can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will enable you to choose from a number of different templates and you will be able to include your own text to each of them. Forwarding a domain to a new URL is as easy as simply typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domains, it takes simply a click to do it and our system will do the rest - changing the name servers, setting up a domain folder in your account, creating the required DNS records, etc. For easier administration, you're going to be able to filter the domain addresses registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
