The domains that you own but that do not contain any content is parked domains. You can use parked domains to hold a domain that is for sale or redirect traffic to another domain. You must register a parked domain name before visitors can access it. Now let’s go straight into the steps to Manage or Create parked domains in cPanel.
Create a New Parked Domain (Alias)
- Log into cPanel account
- Click the Parked Domains icon
- Enter the name of the domain that you wish to park in the available text box.
- Click Add Domain
To open the parked domain’s home directory with the File Manager (Home >> Files >> File Manager), click the link under Document Root that corresponds to the parked domain that you would like to view.
Note:
You will see Aliases in place of Parked domain in the Domain section if its an updated version of cPanel. They are same thing, but simply named with a different term.
