Parked Domains - What they are and How to park a domain using cPanel

Parked Domains

Own another domain name with no website for it but you want people to be able to type it in a browser to land at your real web site? Park your extra domain name on top of your real web site's domain. This will redirect visitors who type in that URL to your primary web site's home page. This is great if you need to let visitors find you with an alternately-spelled domain name, or by an old domain name that you are no longer using.

cPanel has a feature in it that allows you to Park a Domain on top of your regular primary (main) domain.

NOTE: A domain must be registered with a valid registrar, and the DNS pointed at our server with the same Name Servers as your main hosting account, before it can be parked on your main domain.

In your 1-2-Wonder Hosting cPanel:
Click on Parked Domains and enter the domain name to park, WITHOUT the www.
Example: If your main web site is www.domain1.com, and you want www.domain2.com to point to your main domain1 home page, type "domain2.com" in the blank (without the quotes).
