A Parked Domain is a registered domain without any <a href="/help/what-is-web-hosting/">Web hosting</a> or other services attached to it. <a href="/help/what-registry-registrar-and-registrant-mean/">Registrars</a> allow you to point the domain to a dummy web page. When visitors type the address of a domain that has been "parked", they will see a placeholder web page. This page usually simply says that the domain is not currently in use, or may include a "Coming Soon" message.

Parked Domains are usually used when:
