    Domain Parking

    I have several 'parked domains' and they are all directed to my main domain/website when typed in the address field (www...). Is this automatic? If so, is there a way to turn this feature off ? much thanks....

    Yes, you can unpark your parked domains. Go in your CP, Parked domains, then just remove them from the list. Once unparked you need to set their DNS to where you want them to point.

      Thanks for the reply Naval.
      I don't want to unpark the domains, I just don't want the parked domains directed to my home page when typed in the www.. field...
      Is this not possible? Can't they be just parked without having to point anywhere?

        This is the meaning of parked domain: it points to that account index page.

          Ok. Now I understand. It's not an option. I thought 'add-on domains' was for directing traffic to the index/homepage and 'parked domains' was just for 'parking' with no re-direct. Does this mean that in c-panel both these options act the same or in "add-on domains" one has the option of directing the domain name to any site instead of the registered domain name/ index/homepage?
          ..Thanks for all your help...

            Re: Domain Parking

            Parking f.e. domain2.com in domain1.com means thwt when a visitor types in his browser www.domain2.com he will see domain1.com

            Addon domains instead are independent domains that just share the same disk space of the main account domain. So if your account is related to domain1.com and you add domain2.com as addon domain, CP will automatically create, in the same space, a folder, usually named after the addon domain, in this case a folder called "domain2". Not only, but it also declares this disk space, to the internet, as the space related to " www.domain2.com " . So, if you publish some pages in that folder, when a visitor types www.domain2.com, he gets pointed to those pages.

            redirecting is a totally different thing: if you have some domains added in your account, you can, if you wish, setup a redirection to another website. F.e. my www.navaldesign.us is not parked. It is hosted elsewhere, and redirected to www.navaldesign.info
