OpiumTrail Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Dear All, Can somebody explain to me in gory detail what a parked domain is? Thanks, Richard. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 There really isnt much detail, a parked domain is a domain that resolves to the same page as your primary domain. example, if you have domainb parked on domaina both domains would resolve to the same page which would be domaina.com Quote
OpiumTrail Posted November 20, 2003 Author Posted November 20, 2003 Cool. Is it possible to point a domain name (one I have registered through Total Choice Hosting) at a specific page on my primary domain? This is much like the holding or forwarding page that many ISPs provide. I'm sure that this must be possible but I'm not sure what the correct terminology for this is. Thanks, Richard. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Cool. Is it possible to point a domain name (one I have registered through Total Choice Hosting) at a specific page on my primary domain? No, parked domains must point to the same page as your primary domain. Quote
OpiumTrail Posted November 20, 2003 Author Posted November 20, 2003 OK, that's fair enough. Could you explain what an add-on domain is and how I use those? Can I make a domain name I have registered with TCH an add-on domain to my primary domain (also registered with TCH)? Thanks, Richard. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Richard, I own knifeandblade.com, .net, .org, .biz, .us and so on. I want averyone going to any of them to get to my .com address, the one I have hosted at TCH. To do that I have them as add-on domains. The advantage of this is that I can now have email at .com or any of the others if I want. I can also do this if I have another domain not related in name like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.something and make it an add-on if I like. In short you can make your other domain an add-on domain to your hosted domain. Quote
OpiumTrail Posted November 20, 2003 Author Posted November 20, 2003 Cool: Can you make the add-on domain point to a different page within your primary domain? If not, then how does an add-on domainthis differ from a parked domain? Quote
Lianna Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 No, you can't point to a different page, only to the home page of the primary domain. Difference between Add-on and parked is the functionality of the added or parked domain. If parked, it won't have mail features, etc. (my understanding, but I'll double check that). Quote
TCH-Rick Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Parked domains do have email available. You just set them up in the main account CPanel. Add-on domains are available on reseller accounts and can be pointed to a subdomain. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Well slap me and call me Suzy. Here I was talking about parked domains. Where is the wet fish? I am going to go sit in the corner and put my dunce cap on now. Let me know when I can come out. Quote
Lianna Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Watch out, Rob, that corner is going to get crowded. Thanks for the straightening, Rick! Quote
