Multiple Addresses pointing to same website?

[ricky_price]

So many websites do this, it is quite annoying... they must make some nice money though as some sites when parked still get hundreds if not thousands of visitors a day

Parked domain feature in cPanel is different from Domain Name Parking. With Domain Name Parking, one can earn money from his/her domains' natural traffic.The idle domain is used to display relevant advertisements, every time a user clicks on one of the advertisements, the domain owner earns money.

How much can you make from parked domains?

[eddieho90]

It depends on were you registered the domains, a lot of the registrars have a seperate option for this (I know NameCheap has), al you have to do is enter the URL that you want it forwarded to.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for 'n' number of questions, however one more question about the domains allowed on your Windows plan. Does the number of domains (suppose 20 domains) allowed also include Parked Domains, Addon Domains, Domain Redirect?

Number of domains allowed on Windows Hosting plans is the number of addon domains one can host on that particular hosting package. This number does not include parked domains/domain redirects.

Thank you Ryan and Martin!
EUK forum is quite supportive and I get all my doubts cleared here.

Now, it is bit confusing. Does it mean that Redirecting the domain is same as Domain Forwarding?

Yes, they both are same but different terms used in different control panels, Redirect in cPanel and Forwarding in Plesk. And they both will change the domain name in browser to the main domain.

Domain Redirect is the standard method for domain forwarding. When the visitor types in the domain name they are redirected to the web server that the actual page is hosted on.

Where as in "Domain Redirect" abc.com will redirect all the request to xyz.com and the browser will change the domain from abc.com to xyz.com.

With URL Forwarding, someone accessing a domain name is routed to a different domain name/URL while in case of a parked domain, the domain name/URL entered in the browser remains the same but displays the content of the main domain name.

pointed domains can be done with url forwarding from your registrar a lot of the time

oh ok.. so it has nothing to do with SEO and parking.

[Ryan]

Parked domain feature on our hosting plans refers to 'Parked Domains' function within cPanel control panel.

Parked Domains (Domain pointers) allow you to "point" or "park" 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.

[greenhost]

hey...

is the 'parked domain' feature exclusively used for eukhost services? since 'parked' in the domain industry has an entirely different meaning.

what this seems like is actaully 'domain forwarding' or domain pointing in layman terms while hiding the URL is also called URL masking which you can enable if you do not want the destination url to be visible.
