If you want to register a domain name to ensure that no one else will take it, however, you haven't developed the web site for it yet, you can park it. That is a feature that registrar companies provide whenever a domain address isn't linked to any web or e mail hosting service. By doing this, you'll be able to protect a brand name, for instance, and you will own the domain name in question although it will not load any content. If you wish, you can select some standard template that the registrar offers, such as For Sale or Under Construction, alternatively you can forward the domain name to a different web address. The second option is very useful in case you own a number of domain names, but you want all of them to open the same site. For example, you can register domain.net and domain.org, then park them and forward them to domain.com. In this example, you will need hosting for the third domain only and the traffic to the other ones will be redirected to it.
Parked Domains in Cloud Hosting
With each and every cloud hosting plan which we offer you can park as many domain addresses as you want and in contrast to other companies, we do not have any service fees for that. Naturally, you can do this exclusively for domain addresses that 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 a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can quickly park and un-park domains, pick one of the templates that we offer and add custom text to it, or forward a domain address to a URL of your preference. If you host a parked domain address, our system will modify its name servers and create a folder in the File Manager automatically. You can also set filters and see only the parked or only the hosted domains, that will permit you to handle them easy and fast.
