Parked Domains

What are parked domain names? When are able to they come in real useful? How do you park a domain?

If you want to register a domain name to make certain that nobody else will take it, but you have not developed the web site for it yet, you can park it. That is a service that registrar companies provide if a domain is not linked to any web or email hosting service. In this way, you'll be able to protect a brand name, for instance, and you will own the domain address in question although it won't open any content. If you want, you may choose some default template that the registrar provides, like For Sale or Under Construction, alternatively you can forward the domain name to a different web address. Your second option is very helpful if you own a number of domains, but you want each and every one of them to open the same website. For instance, you can register domain.net and domain.org, then park them and direct them to domain.com. In this example, you are going to need hosting for the third domain name only and the traffic to the other ones is going to be redirected to it.
