Domain parking

[sweetpea]

What is it?
What does/can/can't a parked domain do?
Disk space/bandwidth/email shared with the "parked on" domain?

Bascially you have more than once domain on your account. You can do NOTHING with it except pooint it to other domains...

I do not understand this.

Say I have one site already hosted by HR (siteone.com). Can I register another separate domain (differentsite.com) and have it hosted by HR under my current account? Or would I need to buy a completely separate hosting plan for the second site?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by only being able to point it to other domains.

If you want two seperate sets of space bandwidth etc.. you will need two different accounts, parked domain pointers will just allow you to have different domains pointed to the same site, for example, one of my sites, if you type in http://www.studiospg.com or http://www.studiospg.net you get the same site.

Brian,

Does the URL in the browser window show the "real" domain or the parked domain?
In your example, if studiospg.net is the parked domain, if I enter http://studiospg.net
as my URL, will it change to http://studiospg.com or will it look to me like I'm
browsing studiospg.net?

Studiospg.net is a parked domain, and no, it doesn't change the url to .com, and it's not a "stealth" redirect, if you click services at studiospg.com it shows studiospg.com/services.php in the address bar, if you go to studiospg.net and click services it shows studiospg.net/services.php in the address bar. does this answer your question?

How do I go about submitting my 2 domain parking urls?

Do I send in a trouble ticket? Is it possible to do through the control panel?

hanks.

Yes, submit a trouble ticket.
