There are two services you need for a working site - a domain plus a web hosting plan for it. Whenever you type the domain name in your browser, you see the content that is uploaded within the web hosting account, but if that domain address is not linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it is 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. Instead, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it can be forwarded to any other URL of your choice. The main advantage of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and make certain that no one else will take it. Meanwhile, it won't occupy a slot for a hosted Internet domain in your account. You could also park domains if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domains with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main web site in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Cloud Web Hosting
When you have a Linux cloud web hosting through our company, you're going to be able to park any of your domain names easily. The function is offered for the domains registered with us, but not for the ones which are only hosted here and pointed from some other company, since a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will permit you to choose from a variety of templates and you're going to be able to add custom text to any of them. Forwarding a domain to an alternative URL is as easy as simply typing the web address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domain names, it takes just 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 necessary DNS records, etc. For easier management, you are going to 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 purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you are going to be able to register and park as many domains as you wish. In contrast to other companies, we are not going to charge you an additional fee for this feature. You are able to park a domain with only a couple of clicks through the Domain Manager instrument, which you can access through the Hepsia web hosting CP. In case you decide to use a template, you will have a few different ones available and you will be able to add custom text to each of them. The feature-rich Domain Manager allows you to set filters and see only the hosted or only the parked domain addresses in your account. Using the same tool, you can also un-park a domain and host it within your account with just a mouse click. Our system will modify the name servers of the domain name and will create its folder inside the File Manager section, and the needed DNS records for it, automatically.
