A parked domain name is one which is taken, but it's not associated with any other service - web or e-mail hosting. In other words, this kind of domain name will not load any real content when you type it inside an Internet browser, but no one can take it as you've already registered it and you are its owner. The advantage of getting a domain and parking it afterwards is the fact that you will be able to keep it and not stress that somebody else may register it meanwhile if, for instance, the site for it is not ready yet. You can create a short-term Under Construction webpage for a parked domain address while you are working on your web site, or forward it to another web address - temporarily or permanently. The latter option can be used if you have already registered domain.com, for instance, and you obtain domain.net and domain.org, so that you can protect a brand name or a trademark. In this situation, the .net and .org domain addresses can be parked and forwarded to the .com as you don't need individual sites for them.
Parked Domains in Cloud Hosting
If you have a Linux cloud hosting with our company, you will be able to park each of your domain names easily. The function is available for the domain addresses registered through our company, but not for the ones that are only hosted here and directed from some other company, because a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will permit you to pick from a number of templates and you'll be able to add custom text to each of them. Forwarding a domain address to a new URL is as easy as just typing the Internet address and saving it. If you want to host any of your parked domain addresses, it takes only 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 required DNS records, etc. For much easier administration, you'll be able to filter the domain addresses registered within the account by their status - parked or hosted.
