Domain Parking - Wildcard Domain Name Server (DNS)?
Nov 5, 2008
We have a lot of unused domains that we'd like to setup domain parking for.
To keep it simple, we'd like to just change the namesevers to ns1.domainparking.com and ns2.domainparking.com (not real nameservers!) and the domains would then automatically show a simple web page.
We use cpanel servers and are wondering how easy this is to do? I've seem mention of wildcard dns? Is that the answer?
i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..
Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??
I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..
However I am at the same time retaining the old.domain to keep the older links working
I want that the old.domain/link redirect to new.domain/link
Please advice what would be best to do for the old.domain -
1) Domain forwarding 2) Domain parking
or Both the above
(The other thing is that I would like to do 301 redirect - would this happen automatically by activating the above options - or something else has to be done)
I am running a CentOS 6.5, 64-bit server with Plesk 12.0.18, and need to install a wildcard SSL for one of the domains/sub domains hosted on this server.
So you have the csr and private key installed (and domain.crt?), you just need to open..
Before I contact any hosting services provider I want to know about some of basic information like, what is domain parking? What is virtual web hosting? How do I pay for web hosting?

I want to park my domains, and create subdomains etc.
I don't have any control panel, because I don't know how to install it.
My VPS provider provides me a free (public? they use it for all of the VPS they host) name servers, but I don't know how to use them
Does anyone have any links to tutorials, or anyone could explain me how to do it?
There is some BIND9, but I don't know how to configure it.
Lets say my site is stored in /var/www/page1 so is it posible to park domain to display content in that folder?
Also I heard about some A records and CNAME, is it better solution? I know that you have to create A record pointing to IP address, but what to do next?
I dont have a lot of money to pay my provider (they charge quite a lot for servers configuration, because its unmanaged services)
Maybe any trusted person can configure my VPS? (ftp to create users, dns, or explanation how to use A records, secure php; GD). But I cant pay much, only $10 - $15 paypal
I have 65 parked domains that are reasonably high traffic (26000 hits per day).
I'm looking to run my own VPS server to manage these domains.
I would like to have all the domains nameserver records pointing to my VPS and redirect traffic from different Countries to different parking companies based on a php script.
Can anyone reccomend what sort of VPS setup I would need as regards to RAM,bandwidth etc. And a good hosting company?
I have 2 domains ie. red.com blue.com. They are both on seperate servers. I want red.com to be a subdomain for blue.com. I went ahead and created an A host for red.blue.com, I then created a virtualhost and everything is working, I can pull up red.blue.com and it pulls up the same data if I were to go to red.com.
Here is my issue. I want to have red.com pull up red.blue.com by default so blue.com gets credit for traffic, I am moving red.com and moving it all into blue.com. Hopefully this makes sense. Also, I want to make sure nothing breaks my current search engine results.
just purchased a reseller hosting to provide a value added service for my seo clients .
I requested my domain registrar to setup my own nameserver i.e, the site i have registered for reseller web hosting nameserver, lets say it as ns1.myresellersite.com, ns2.myresellersite.com
I got a confirmation from domain registrar support that its been setup in my account. I have checked using my reseller site nameserver for a test site and the site is working fine and also shows my nameserver in whois details.
now my problem is i wanted to host a site so that new clients can go to my web hosting site i.e; www.myresellersite.com and can purchase my hosting plans through checkout.
I tried to park domain in my cpanel of reseller hosting but it says "Error from park wrapper: You cannot park your main domain! "
is it possible to specify the DOCUMENT_ROOT of a domain when parking through cPanel? All parked domains by default point to "/public_html" directory. But I want them to point to "/public_html/myfolder".

What shall i do to park my name server domain as my web hosting domain?
I started up a brand new site just over a week ago and set the DNS settings to point the domain to my site. It's been that way ever since. Now I try to login today to update my site and see that every url with my domain goes back to the GoDaddy parking page. Is this more a problem with my host, or GoDaddy?
I have several domains configured in my Plesk, and one of them is set as the "Detault site" under Home >> Tools & Setings > IP address management.This has the unpleasant side effect that any domain I point to this IP renders content from the Default site unless it's setup. How can I configure the default site to render content from only one domain?
When I hit my server's domain it redirects me to one of the hosted sites' domain with a 302 redirect. It used to return the default plesk server page. How can I cancel the redirect?
But do i need to speak to the datacenter to add the reverse dns entries for my domain on their nameservers? What about if i host my nameservers offsite, but then have my webserver/mailserver etc inside the datacenter? Would i need to request the datacenter where the nameservers are hosted to add the reverse ip entries for the domain, and then the request the same from the datacenter for my web/mail servers to add the reverse entries?
I've been having some DNS problems with one of my domains for quite some time now. The domain does not always resolve - some go days without being able to access the site.
I ran a simple BASH script to show what I mean. I replaced my domain with "mysite.net" and the IP with "xx.xx.xxx.xxx".
# for i in `seq 1 15`; do host mysite.net; done
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL) mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net. mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have gone over the DNS records countless times and see no problems. The site is hosted on my own dedicated server.
I´ve a domain but haven´t set the DNS servers yet....now I get a free hosting and I wanted to associate the DNS servers to my domain but I don´t know how!!!
It would be great If you could help me...and let me know if you need more info..
OK, I am confused. I have one domain that is parked on top of another domain. I would like Mail that comes to the parked domain to be automatically forwarded to the same user name at the primary domain.
Can I change a DNS or MX record to facilitate this?
