What is a Parked Domain?
|
|
This seems to be a confusing issue for many people because of
the widespread use of domain parking. It also confused with Addon
domains.
A domain can be parked on top of another domain or it can be parked
at a domain parking site.
When a domain is parked on top of an existing domain you simply use
your control panel to point it to your primary domain. You can not
point it at any specific page or directory. Then you change the DNS
servers at your registrar’s site to point it to the correct
namesever. Your hosting company will provide the nameserver
information.
Let’s look at an example. Your own mysite.com and my-site.com.
Your primary site is mysite.com. You park my-site.com on top of
mysite.com. Once the DNS has resolved whenever anyone types in my-site.com
they will be taken to your existing site but the address in the
browser window will be displayed as my-site.com.
Currently there is some discussion that this might actually hurt
your search engine ratings as it appears to be a duplicate site.
Parking at a domain parking
site is an entirely different concept. When you park there
you simply change the DNS at your registrar to point to the parking
company’s nameservers and they provide the content. That content
can be a coming soon or a series of PPC ads.
