A parked domain address is one that is taken, but it's not associated with some other service - web or e-mail hosting. To put it differently, this type of domain name will not open any actual content in case you type it within a web browser, but nobody can take it as you've already registered it and you are its owner. The advantage of getting a domain name and parking it afterwards is the fact that you’ll be able to keep it and not worry that someone else could possibly register it in the meantime if, for example, the site for it is not ready yet. You can create a short-term Under Construction webpage for a parked domain name while you're working on the web site, or forward it to some other web address - temporarily or permanently. The latter option can be used if you have already registered domain.com, for example, and you acquire domain.net and domain.org, in order to protect a brand name or a trademark. In such a case, the .net and .org domain addresses can be parked and forwarded to the .com since you do not need separate sites for them.
Parked Domains in Shared Hosting
If you acquire a shared hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to register as many domains as you would like and park any one of them with only a few clicks via your Hepsia hosting CP. Through our feature-rich Domain Manager tool, you can choose from several templates and add your own text to any one of them. If you would like to forward a domain name, all it takes is to type the URL, save it, and you will be all set. You could un-park a domain address and host it in your account just as easily and our system will do all the required adjustments - update the domain address servers, create DNS records for it, create a domain folder inside the File Manager section of your account, etc. Provided you have numerous domains registered using our company, you can use a filter and check out just the parked or just the hosted ones for a lot easier management. Having in mind you can park a domain only with its registrar, you can employ this function only for domains which are registered through us, but not through another company.
