If you have registered a domain name with us but are not ready to use it yet, you can park it with us. Parking keeps your domain safe and reserved, while displaying a simple placeholder page to visitors—instead of an error or empty page.
Domain parking means you register a domain with us but don’t point it to our name servers. So when someone types your domain into a browser, they’ll see a default page provided by our server.
Think of it like buying land and putting up a “Coming Soon” sign—you own it, you’ve claimed it, and you’ll build on it when you’re ready.
How to Park Your Domain
Log in to your KamHost control panel at https://cp.kamhost.com, then follow the steps below:
Step 1: Select Your Domains
Go to My Domains > Parked Domains. Find the domain(s) you want to park and select the checkbox in front of each domain you want to park.
Step 2: Open the Parking Settings
Click the “Park Domains” button. This will open the “Domain Parking & Redirection” pop-up window.
Step 3: Choose a Template and Custom Text
In the pop-up window, you will see 3 parking template categories to choose from. Each category offers 2 template types (you can preview them before deciding). Once you’ve chosen a template, type the message you want visitors to see into the “Custom Display Text” field.
Step 4: Park the Domain
Click the “Park” button to complete the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does domain parking cost extra?
A: No, it’s completely free to park domains with us.
Q: How long can I keep a domain parked?
A: As long as you continue to renew the domain registration, you can keep it parked indefinitely.
Q: Will people see ads on my parked domain?
A: Yes, visitors will see that the domain is parked with KamHost, along with our hosting ads on the page. However, you can also add your own custom text content.
Q: Can I park a domain I’ve already used for a website?
A: Yes, if you’ve taken down the original website, you can repurpose and park the domain. Just ensure the hosting connection is properly configured.
Q: Is domain parking legal?
A: Yes, as long as you’re parking domains in good faith and not infringing on trademarks or engaging in cybersquatting. Always respect trademark laws.
