How to Park a Domain in cPanel

Introduction

At Lanetti, we aim to simplify domain management for your growing online presence. Domain parking is a feature that allows you to point additional domain names to your main website. This is useful for redirecting traffic from multiple domains to a single site or reserving domains for future use. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to park a domain in cPanel.

What Is Domain Parking?

Domain parking associates a secondary domain with your primary website, making the parked domain display the same content as your main domain. For example, if you park example.net on example.com, both domains will display the same website.

How to Park a Domain in cPanel

1. Log in to Your cPanel
