What is a parked domain? How do I create and delete one?

  • To add a parked domain, please do the following:

    1. Login to cPanel and click the Parked Domains icon.
    2. In the box to the right of New Domain Name, provide the domain name for which you would like to park on top of your primary domain.
    3. Click Add Domain.

    You have just added a Parked Domain.

    To remove a parked domain, please do the following:

     

    1. Login to cPanel and click Parked Domains.
    2. At the bottom, under Actions, click Remove.

    Domains must be registered with a valid registrar before they can be parked. In addition, they will not be functional unless they are configured to point to the same name servers as your primary domain.

     

    Do not confuse this with "Domain Parking" offered by domain registrars. When a domain registrar offers such a service, they mean to park your domain on their servers and direct traffic to a page of their choice. This is a good temporary solution if you don't have a webhosting account, but is very restricted.
