A parked domain address is one that is taken, however it's not associated with another service - web or email hosting. Basically, such a domain will not open any real content when you type it inside a web browser, but nobody can take it as you've already registered it and you are its owner. The benefit of acquiring a domain and parking it afterwards is the fact that you’re able to keep it and not worry that somebody else may register it in the meantime if, for example, the website for it is not ready yet. You may set a short-term Under Construction website page for a parked domain address while you're working on your site, or direct it to some other web address - temporarily or permanently. The latter option can be used when you have already registered domain.com, for example, and you acquire domain.net and domain.org, so as to protect a brand name or a trademark. In such a case, the .net and .org domain addresses can be parked and directed to the .com because you don't need different websites for them.
Parked Domains in Shared Website Hosting
If you have a Linux shared website hosting from our company, you will be able to park each of your domains with ease. The feature is available for the domains registered with us, and not for the ones which are only hosted here and pointed from another company, because a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will permit you to choose from a variety of templates and you will be able to include custom text to any of them. Redirecting a domain name to another URL is as easy as simply typing the web address and saving it. If you want to host any of your parked domain addresses, it takes only a click to do it and our system is going to do the rest - changing the name servers, setting up a domain folder in your account, creating the needed 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.
Parked Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you are going to be able to register and park as many domains as you would like. Unlike other providers, we will not charge you an additional fee for this feature. You'll be able to park a domain name with just a couple of clicks through the Domain Manager tool, that you can access via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. In case you choose to use a template, you will have a few different ones to select from and you will be able to add custom text to any of them. The feature-rich Domain Manager allows you to set filters and see only the hosted or only the parked domains within your account. Using the same instrument, you can also un-park a domain and host it in your account with a mouse click. Our system will change the name servers of the domain and will create its folder inside the File Manager section, and the required DNS records for it, automatically.
