What is domain parking?

Domain parking allows you to assign more than one domain name to one of your hosting accounts.

For example, if you have the domain "mysite.com" set up as an parked at the hosting account for "yoursite.com," anyone browsing to "mysite.com" will see the content located at "yoursite.com."

Domain pointers are also known as "pointing" or "parking" or "aliasing" additional domain names to your existing hosting account. This will allow users to also reach your website when entering the "parked" or "pointed" domain into their browsers.

To setup domain parking, first check to see if your hosting plan supports it and then go into your control panel and click "Parked Domains" and follow the steps on the page.
