There are two separate services that you need for a functioning web site - a domain name plus a website hosting plan for it. When you type the domain in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded within the website hosting account, but if that domain address isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it is parked. Put simply, the domain is registered and you're its owner, but it lacks 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 any other URL of your choice. The main advantage of parking a domain name is that you can keep it and be sure that nobody else will take it. At the same time, it won't take a slot for a hosted domain in your account. In addition, you can park domain names if you have a .com, for example, and you register domain names with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main site in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Cloud Web Hosting
If you have a cloud web hosting plans through us, you're going to be able to park any of your domain names with ease. The function is available for the domain names registered through our company, and not for the ones that are only hosted here and pointed from another company, since a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager tool will enable you to select from a number of different templates and you will be able to add your own text to any one of them. Forwarding a domain name to an alternative URL is as easy as simply typing the web address and saving it. If you decide to host any of your parked domain names, it takes simply a mouse click to do it and our system is going to do the rest - changing the name servers, creating a domain folder in your account, creating the necessary DNS records, etc. For much easier administration, you will be able to filter the domain names registered inside the account by their status - parked or hosted.
Parked Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you get a semi-dedicated server plan through us, you'll be able to register and park as many domains as you would like. Unlike other providers, we won't charge you an additional fee for this feature. You could park a domain address with just a couple of clicks through the Domain Manager instrument, that you can access through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In case you want to use a template, you're going to 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 enables you to set filters to see only the hosted or only the parked domain addresses in your account. Through the same tool, you can also un-park a domain and host it inside your account with only a click. Our system will change the name servers of the domain address and will create its folder in the File Manager section, and the needed DNS records for it, automatically.
