Parked Domains

Learn more about parked domains - what they are and in what instances it is advantageous to have your domains parked.

There are two separate services that you’ll need for a functioning website - a domain and a web hosting plan for it. Any time you type the Internet domain in your browser, you see the content that is uploaded within the website hosting account, but if that domain name is not linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. To put it differently, the Internet domain is registered and you're its owner, but it does not have any content of its own. Rather, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it can be forwarded to some other URL of your choice. The main advantage of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and make sure that no one else is going to take it. In the meantime, it won't block a slot for a hosted domain address inside your account. You can also park domains if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domain names with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main site as a way to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Shared Web Hosting

With each and every shared web hosting plan we offer you are able to park as many domain names as you want and unlike other companies, we don't have any fees for that. Naturally, this can be done only for domain addresses which are registered through us as parking a domain is possible only with the registrar, and not through the host unless you have both services with only one company. We have got a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can conveniently park and un-park domain addresses, choose one of the templates we offer and add custom text to it, or forward a domain name to a URL of your choice. If you host a parked domain address, 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 domains, that will allow you to manage them fast and easy.
