Parked Domains
Parked domains function as pointing devices. When a user enters the address for a parked domain, it redirects to the main domain on which it is parked.
For example, if example1.com
is parked on example.com
, example.com
will be accessed when example1.com
is entered into the web browser. Once the parked domain has been added to the server, it can be removed or used as a redirector when you click the appropriate links under the Actions heading in the list.
