What Is a Parked(Alias) Domain and How Do I Set up One?

A parked domain, also known as an alias domain, is a domain name that points to the content of another domain name. When a visitor enters a parked domain into their web browser, they are automatically redirected to the primary domain.

Parked domains can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:

• Protecting your brand: If you own multiple domain names related to your brand, you can park them on your primary domain to prevent others from using them.
• Improving SEO: Parked domains can help to improve your website's search engine ranking by increasing the number of backlinks to your primary domain.
• Promoting special offers: You can park a domain name on a special offer page to promote a specific product or service.
• Redirecting traffic to a new domain: If you have moved your website to a new domain, you can park your old domain name on the new one to redirect traffic.

To set up a parked domain, you will need to log in to your web hosting account and navigate to the domain management section. Once you have found the domain management section, you will need to add a new parked domain.

The steps for adding a parked domain will vary depending on your web hosting provider. However, the general process is as follows:

1. Enter the domain name that you want to park.
2. Select the primary domain that you want to park it on.
3. Click the "Park" button.

Once you have parked your domain, it will typically take a few hours for the changes to propagate. After the changes have propagated, visitors will be automatically redirected to your primary domain when they enter your parked domain into their web browser.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when setting up a parked domain:

• You can only park domains that you own.
• You cannot park a domain on itself.
• You can park multiple domains on a single primary domain.
• You can remove a parked domain at any time.

If you have any questions about setting up a parked domain, please contact your web hosting provider.
