There are two separate services that you need for a functioning web site - a domain name plus a hosting plan for it. When you type the domain in your browser, you see the content that’s uploaded inside the website hosting account, but if that domain address is not linked to such an account or to an email service, it is parked. In other words, the domain name is registered and you are its owner, but it does not have any content of its own. Rather, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” page from the registrar company, or it may be directed to some other URL of your choice. The 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 will not block a slot for a hosted Internet domain in your account. In addition, you can park domains if you have a .com, for example, and you register domain names with other extensions such as .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main website as a way to protect a brand name.

Parked Domains in Shared Hosting

You will be able to park as many domain addresses as you like with any of the shared hosting plans that we offer. However, this feature is offered just for domains registered with us because the service is always provided only by the registrar. As opposed to most companies, we don't charge anything more for parking a domain and the process is going to take just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia CP. We also have a few parking templates to select from where you can add custom text. If you want to host a parked domain name in the future, adding it to your account requires simply a mouse click. Everything required for the site to start showing up, including creating a domain folder and creating DNS records is going to be done automatically by us. The feature-rich Domain Manager tool will enable you to view a full list of the domains you have registered through us and you’ll be able to set a filter to see just the parked or just the hosted ones.
