There are two separate services that you’ll need for a functioning web site - a domain name and a website hosting plan for it. Whenever you type the domain address in your Internet browser, you see the content that’s uploaded in the web hosting account, but if that domain name is not linked to such an account or to an e-mail service, it's parked. Put simply, the domain is registered and you are its owner, but it lacks content of its own. As a substitute, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it may be forwarded to some other URL of your choice. The main benefit of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and make sure that no one else will take it. At the same time, it's not going to occupy a slot for a hosted Internet domain in your account. You can also park domain names if you have a .com, for example, and you register domain names with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main site in order to protect a brand name.
Parked Domains in Shared Hosting
When you have a Linux shared packages from our company, you're going to be able to park all of your domains easily. 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 some other company, because a domain address can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will allow you to choose from a number of different templates and you're going to be able to include custom text to each of them. Forwarding a domain to an alternative URL is as easy as just typing the web address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domains, it takes only a mouse click to do it and our system is going to do the rest - changing the name servers, setting up a domain folder in your account, setting up the necessary DNS records, etc. For much easier administration, you are going to be able to filter the domains registered in the account by their status - parked or hosted.
Parked Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan through us, you will be able to register and park as many domain names as you would like. Unlike other companies, we won't charge you an additional fee for this feature. You can park a domain name with only two clicks using the Domain Manager tool, which you can access through the Hepsia web hosting CP. In case you decide to use a template, you're going to have a few different ones available and you will be able to add custom text to any of them. The feature-rich Domain Manager allows you to set filters to see only the hosted or only the parked domain names within your account. Using the same tool, you can also un-park a domain and host it inside your account with a mouse click. Our system will change the name servers of the domain and will create its folder inside the File Manager section, and the required DNS records for it, automatically.
