Thread: Domain Name Question

I was asking if I could turn off the re-direct from parked domains.

My original question and follow-up was concerning the automatic re-directs of parked domains. I said I didn't want the parked domains re-directed and there seemed to be some confusion because the answer was: "I got what I wanted".
What I wanted to know was if I could turn this off. I don't want the parked domains being re-directed to my homepage.

thank you

The post you're refering to was posted over a week ago in the "domain" thread and there was no response so I posted another one yesterday that was deleted, guess you didn't see it. Now I realize it was probably deleted because it was a double post... I did get the answer I was looking for from Naval. I wasn't aware that parked domains were automatically directed to my index/home page.
In Cpane/Parked domains:

Parked Domain Maintenance

Domain pointers allow you to "point" or "park" additional domain names to your existing hosting account. This will allow users to also reach your website when entering the "parked" or "pointed" domain into their browsers.

I realize "add-on" domains point to the index/homepage but I guess from mis-reading the above I thought "or" meant it to be an option, point or park...now I see that my assumption was wrong.

Cheers

You have understood correctly about parked domains, but not about addon domains. Addon domains, when created, point to a portion (a folder) in the same account of the main site, but, as behaviour to the eyes of the visitor, they are by all means independent domains. This is just a way of having more domains in a single account.
