There are two services that you’ll need for a working site - a domain and a website hosting plan for it. Whenever you type the domain name in your web browser, you see the content that is uploaded inside the website hosting account, but if that domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. To put it differently, the domain address is registered and you are its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. As a substitute, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” Internet page from the registrar company, or it could be directed to any other URL of your choice. The main benefit of parking a domain is that you can keep it and make sure that no one else will take it. Meanwhile, it won't occupy a slot for a hosted domain name in your account. You can also park domain names if you have a .com, for example, and you register domains with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main web site as a way to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Cloud Hosting

With each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer you can park as many domain names as you would like and in contrast to other companies, we do not have any service fees for that. Naturally, you can do this only for domain names that are registered through us because parking a domain is possible only with the registrar, and not through the host unless you have the two services with the exact same company. We have a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can easily park and un-park domain names, select one of the templates that we offer and add custom text to it, or forward a domain to a URL of your choice. If you host a parked domain name, 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 domain names, which will enable you to manage them fast and easy.
