This demo will show you how to add a parked domain through your cPanel.

Parked Domains Explained:

The parked domain feature allows multiple domain names to access your main domain name. A parked domain would display the same pages as your main domain, but using the parked domain name. For example. if your main domain name was example.com, you could setup a parked domain name for example.org. Then, everytime someone typed example.org in a web browser, the content of example.com would display, retaining the URL example.org in your address bar. Further, parked domains have full email functionality, so you would be able to have email addresses, aliases, and forwarders for [email protected].



[1] Click on the "Parked Domains" icon within the "Domains" section of your cPanel

Note: If you do not have a Parked Domain icon in your cPanel, then your hosting plan does not currently have any Parked Domain allowances. To purchase additional Parked Domain allowances, please submit an upgrade request through our Account Upgrades online form. Our sales team will contact you and help you with the purchase once you submit the form.

[2] Enter the name of your new parked domain into the "Create a New Parked Domain" text box

[3] Click the "Add Domain" button to park the domain to your account.
