If you wish to register a domain name to ensure that no one else is going to take it, however, you have not built the web site for it yet, you may park it. That is a service that registrar companies provide if a domain address isn't linked to any web or email hosting service. This way, you are able to protect a brand name, for instance, and you will own the domain in question even though it won't load any content. If you wish, you may choose some standard template that the registrar provides, such as For Sale or Under Construction, alternatively you can direct the domain to another web address. The second option is very helpful in case you own a number of domain names, but you want every one of them to open the same website. For example, you can 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 name only and the traffic to the other ones will be redirected to it.

Parked Domains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you have a cloud website hosting plans from our company, you're going to be able to park all of your domain names effortlessly. The function is available for the domain names registered through our company, and not for the ones that are only hosted here and pointed from another company, since a domain name can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will enable you to select from a variety of templates and you'll be able to include custom text to any one of them. Forwarding a domain name to a different URL is as easy as just typing the web address and saving it. If you decide 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, creating a domain folder in your account, setting up the required DNS records, etc. For much easier administration, you'll be able to filter the domain names registered within the account by their status - parked or hosted.
