A parked domain address is one that is taken, but it's not associated with any other service - web or email hosting. Put simply, such a domain will not load any real content in case you type it in a browser, but nobody else can take it as you have already registered it and you are its owner. The benefit of obtaining a domain name and parking it afterwards is that you’ll 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 may create a short-term Under Construction website page for a parked domain address while you are working on your web site, or direct it to some other web address - temporarily or permanently. The latter option can be used when you have already registered domain.com, for instance, and you get domain.net and domain.org, in order to protect a brand name or a trademark. In cases like this, the .net and .org domains can be parked and forwarded to the .com as you don't need different websites for them.

If you have a shared web hosting plans with our company, you're going to be able to park all of your domains easily.

Redirecting a domain to a different URL is as easy as simply typing the Internet address and saving it. If you would like to host any of your parked domain addresses, it takes just a mouse 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 easier management, you will be able to filter the domain addresses registered inside the account by their status - parked or hosted.
