When you park a domain, you usually register another domain name but not use it or place any content on it.
Follow these steps to learn how to park your domain in WHM:
1. How to park a domain in WHM.
2. Log in to WHM. Customers can park domains themselves from their cPanel control panels so you’ll rarely have to use this feature in WHM. Click the DNS Functions link.
3. Click the Park a Domain icon.
4. Parking a domain will automatically set up a DNS zone in the server. In this tutorial, we want to park (or point) a new domain to demo123.com. Select the existing domain in the Domain to Park on top of box.
5. Enter the new domain to park in the Domain to Park box.
6. Type in mydemo123.com on the box. To create the DNS zone, click the Submit button.
7. That’s it! We’ve just created a new DNS zone so that our new domain will point to our existing domain. Make sure that you now update the name servers of the parked domain to the same values as demo123.com. Both domain names must have the same name server settings and after 24-48 hours of propagation, the new domain will be successfully pointing to the original domain.
8. This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to park a domain in WHM. Remember that customers can do these themselves with their own domains from their cPanel.
