Parked Domain

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.
