Parking Domains

From Lunarpages Web Hosting Wiki

A parked domain name would be one that is placed on top of a location. As an example, lets say I own both mydomain.com and mydomain.net. The domain mydomain.com is my main domain, but I can park mydomain.net on top of it so that anybody going to mydomain.com or mydomain.net will both be sent to the same server location where my web site is stored.

How to Park a Domain in cPanel

The first thing you will need to do is login to cPanel, and make your way to the the front page. From there, click on the "Parked Domains" icon. This will take you to the domain parking page. Domain pointers allow you to "point" or "park" additional domain names to your existing hosting account. This will allow users to also reach your website when entering the "parked" or "pointed" domain into their browsers.

Into the text box (as seen in this picture) be sure to type in yourdomain.com, changing "yourdomain.com" to the actual domain name you would like to change.

Type the domain name you wish to park into the empty text box, then click on the "Add Domain!" button. Now that domain you typed in will be parked on top of your primary domain name.
