There are 2 services that you’ll need for a working website - a domain plus a website hosting plan for it. Each time you type the Internet domain in your browser, you see the content that’s uploaded in the website hosting account, but if that domain address is not linked to such an account or to an email service, it is parked. In other words, the Internet domain is registered and you are its owner, but it does not have any content of its own. Instead, it can open either a pre-made “Under Construction / For Sale” Internet page from the registrar company, or it could be directed to any other URL of your choice. The benefit of parking a domain address is that you can keep it and be sure that nobody else is going to take it. Meanwhile, it will not block a slot for a hosted domain address within your account. You can also park domains if you have a .com, for instance, and you register domain addresses with other extensions like .net, .org or country-code ones to direct them to the main website so as to protect a brand name.
