What is domain name parking?
Domain name parking is the service that we provide to people who register a domain name and don’t have a web site to point it to. This allows people to reserve the domain name for future web use and continue to use it for email. Domain name parking is not the same as domain or web site hosting.

It can be two things: 1) If you’re not ready to host your site then you can register your domain and then leave it pointed to a default page indicating that the domain is registered but not yet being used. This is included free of charge, when you register your domain name through us. 2) Domain parking is also to let a domain name point to another active domain. Example: Your domain name is: my-business.com and it is hosted by us. You also own another domain: mybusiness.com and you park it, so that all visitors to mybusiness.com see the identical same site as those visiting the my-business.com site. Depending on your email settings you might be able to set up emails on both the active and the parked domain name. As default this is possible with our hosting. When you create an email address (POP3 with user name & password) or an email-forwarder, you can select which domain is to be behind the @ sign.
