Creating Parked Domains

Parked domains are secondary domains that you point to your account. They will display the same content as your primary domain, and otherwise function as an exact copy of the primary domain. You can give the domain email addresses, forwarders, and more, the same way you do for your main domain on the account.

Parked domains can be used when you need a place to park a domain you do not have a website for, when you have more than one domain that should lead to your primary domain or when you have common misspellings of your domain name that you may have registered.

To add a parked domain:

  • Log in to cPanel and click on the Parked Domains icon.
  • 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
  • Click Add Domain.

 

That's all there is to it. You have just added a Parked Domain.

Domains must be registered with a valid registrar before they can be parked. In addition, make sure to go to "Manage Redirection" to point them to your primary domain.

Note: Do not confuse this with "Domain Parking" offered by domain registrars. When a domain registrar offers such a service, they park your domain on their servers and direct traffic to a page of their choice.
