If you want to register a domain to make sure that nobody else is going to take it, however, you haven't developed the web site for it yet, you could park it. It's a feature that registrar companies offer when a domain address isn't linked to any web or e mail hosting service. In this way, you can protect a brand name, for instance, and you'll own the domain in question although it will not open any content. If you wish, you can choose some default template that the registrar provides, such as For Sale or Under Construction, you can also forward the domain name to a new web address. The second option is very helpful in case you own a number of domains, but you want each and every one of them to open the same site. For example, you may register domain.net and domain.org, then park them and forward them to domain.com. In this example, you will need hosting for the third domain name only and the traffic to the other ones will be redirected to it.
Parked Domains in Cloud Website Hosting
With each and every cloud website hosting plan which we offer you can park as many domain addresses as you want and in contrast to other companies, we don't have any fees for that. Naturally, this can be done exclusively for domain names which are registered through us as parking a domain is possible only through the registrar, and not through the host unless you have the two services with only one company. We have got a feature-rich Domain Manager tool where you can effortlessly park and un-park domain addresses, pick one of the templates we offer and add custom text to it, or direct a domain address to a URL of your choice. If you host a parked domain name, our system will change its name servers and set up a folder in the File Manager automatically. Additionally you can set filters and see only the parked or only the hosted domain names, which will enable you to manage them really easy.
