If you wish to register a domain to make sure that nobody else will take it, but you haven't developed the website for it yet, you could park it. It's a service that registrar companies offer when a domain isn't connected to any web or e-mail hosting service. That way, you are able to protect a brand name, for example, and you'll own the domain in question although it will not load any content. If you wish, you can pick some standard template that the registrar provides, such as For Sale or Under Construction, you can also forward the domain to a new web address. The second option is very useful if you own a number of domain names, but you want every one of them to open the same website. As an example, you can register domain.net and domain.org, then park them and forward them to domain.com. In this example, you're going to need hosting for the third domain name only and the traffic to the other ones is going to be redirected to it.

Parked Domains in Cloud Website Hosting

If you have a Linux cloud website hosting with us, you're going to be able to park each of your domain names with ease. The function is offered for the domain names registered with us, and not for the ones which are only hosted here and directed from some other company, as a domain can be parked only through its registrar. Our Domain Manager instrument will enable you to choose from a number of different templates and you'll be able to add your own text to any of them. Forwarding a domain address to a new URL is as easy as just typing the web address and saving it. If you decide to host any of your parked domain addresses, it takes simply a click to do it and our system will do the rest - changing the name servers, setting up a domain folder in your account, setting up the required DNS records, etc. For simpler management, you are going to be able to filter the domain addresses registered inside the account by their status - parked or hosted.
