There are two services you'll need for a working web site - a domain name plus a web hosting plan for it. Whenever you type the Internet domain in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded inside the web hosting account, but if that domain name isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. To put it differently, the domain name is registered and you are its owner, but it does not 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 may be directed to any other URL of your choice. The advantage of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and be sure that nobody else is going to take it. At the same time, it won't occupy a slot for a hosted domain in your account. You may also park domain names if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domain addresses with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main web site in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Cloud Hosting
When you have a Linux cloud hosting packages from us, you'll be able to park any of your domains effortlessly. The feature is offered for the domain names registered with our company, and 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 instrument will allow you to pick from a variety of templates and you'll be able to include your own text to any of them. Redirecting a domain to another URL is as easy as only typing the web address and saving it. If you decide to host any of your parked domain names, it takes just a 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 necessary DNS records, etc. For easier control, you will be able to filter the domain names registered within the account by their status - parked or hosted.
