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.

  1. Enter the domain you wish to park in the available text field.

To open the parked domain’s home directory with the File Manager:

Enable or Disable Parked Domain Redirection

To enable or disable redirection of a parked domain:

  1. Click the Manage Redirection link corresponding to the parked domain you wish to manage.

  3. Click Save.
    • To disable the redirect, click Disable Redirection.

To remove an existing parked domain:
