A parked domain name is one which is taken, but it's not associated with another service - web or e-mail hosting. Essentially, such a domain address won't load any actual content when you type it within a web browser, but nobody else can take it as you have already registered it and you are its owner. The best thing about obtaining a domain and parking it afterwards is the fact that you can keep it and not worry that somebody else might register it meanwhile if, for example, the website for it is not ready yet. You are able to set a temporary Under Construction website page for a parked Internet domain while you are working on the web site, or forward it to another web address - temporarily or permanently. The second option can be employed if you have already registered domain.com, for instance, and you acquire domain.net and domain.org, in order to protect a brand name or a trademark. In this case, the .net and .org domains can be parked and forwarded to the .com because you don't need different websites for them.

Parked Domains in Website Hosting

If you have a website hosting from our company, you will be able to park any of your domain names with ease. The feature is available for the domain names registered through our company, and not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from some other company, because a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will allow you to pick from a variety of templates and you're going to be able to add custom text to any one of them. Forwarding a domain to another URL is as easy as just typing the web address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domain addresses, it takes simply a mouse click to do it and our system is going to do the rest - changing the name servers, creating a domain folder in your account, creating the required DNS records, etc. For easier administration, you'll be able to filter the domain addresses registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
