What is a Parked Domain?

A parked domain allows you add another domain name to your account that points to your current domain.
For example: If you have the domain: mydomain.com and you also wish to use the domain yourdomain.com and wish for them both to go to mydomain.com, you'll need to use a parked domain. Once the parked domain is added, both mydomain.com and yourdomain.com will go to mydomain.com
Unlike a subdomain, a parked domain has to registered with a domain registrar. You will need to ensure that you list the proper nameservers for the parked domain with the domain registrar as well. Please note that your hosting plan may have a limited number, or no parked domains available. Check the Stats/Info tab to see how many parked domains you currently have available.
Unlike a subdomain or addon domain, there will be no new directory created when you created a parked domain because it goes to your /public_html/ directory.
Your current parked domains will be displayed below Current Parked Domains.
Creating Parked Domains
To add a new parked domain just type the domain name in the blank field next to New Domain Name and click on Add Domain!
Removing Parked Domains
If you no longer wish for the domain to point to your main domain, select it from the drop list, and click on Remove Domain! This will not remove any files or directories in your web site.
