Domain Parking | Parked Domain Name | Aussie Interconnect

Why park your domain name?

Parking a domain name is useful if you have one that you would like to reserve, but do not intend to use right away. One of the advantages of parking a domain name is that it will be available when you are ready to use it. Later, it can be upgraded in order to set up a website and email accounts.

The main reasons for parking a domain name include - giving your website a number of domain options - you might be registering several similar domain names that you want to all point to the same website and hosting. Or maybe you just want somewhere to park a separate domain name you've registered that you don't wish to purchase a separate hosting plan for but would still like to use this domain for email addresses.
 
If you have registered the domain through Aussie Interconnect you can update the name server info of your domain name by logging into your Client Area and selecting My Domains to visit your domain management page.

You can set up a domain name that you own to point to another domain name. This is known as "parking" a domain.
 
Example: You own the business.com and innovation.com.au domain names. You already have a website for mybusiness.com.au, and you want mynewdomain.com.au to come up with the same website. By parking mynewdomain.com.au on top of mybusiness.com.au, all URL requests for innovation.com.au will automatically go to mybusiness.com.au instead.
