There are two services that you’ll need for a functioning website - a domain plus a website hosting plan for it. Each time you type the domain name in your browser, you see the content that is uploaded within the hosting account, but if that domain isn't linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. Put simply, the Internet domain is registered and you're its owner, but it doesn't have any content of its own. Instead, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” Internet page from the registrar company, or it could be directed to some other URL of your choice. The benefit of parking a domain is that you can keep it and make certain that nobody else is going to take it. At the same time, it won't occupy a slot for a hosted Internet domain in your account. You could also park domain names if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domain addresses with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to forward them to the main web site in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Cloud Hosting
When you have a Linux cloud hosting through us, you are going to be able to park any of your domains easily. The function is available for the domains registered with our company, but not for the ones which are only hosted here and directed from another company, since a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will allow you to choose from a variety of templates and you are going to be able to include custom text to any of them. Redirecting a domain to an alternative URL is as easy as simply typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like 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, setting up the needed DNS records, etc. For simpler control, you are going to be able to filter the domain names registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
