Purpose and Function of Parked Domains
A parked domain, sometimes referred to as a domain alias, is a domain name that directs website visitors to the content of a separate, primary domain on your hosting account. It acts as an alternate address for an existing website.
How Parking a Domain Works
For example, if you own both yourdomain.com and yourdomain.net and want both addresses to display the exact same website content, you would set up yourdomain.net as a parked domain that points to yourdomain.com. When a visitor types yourdomain.net into their browser, they will see the content of yourdomain.com.
Benefits of Using Parked Domains
Parked domains allow you to acquire and use multiple domain names to direct traffic to a single website. This setup enables you to have several different addresses displaying the identical website information, all without the effort or complication of having to maintain separate web development files for each domain name.
