Parked Domain Scenario

[Nield]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with this scenario please:

1. Website hosted on a server not owned by myself
2. The domain is owned by me and points to my server
3. I create an account in WHM and edit the A record to point to the other server
4. I wish to park another domain on the account and to point to the server not owned by me.

Now I have parked the domain but this 2nd domain does not pick up the A record entry and redirect it to the website, any ideas???

Thanks in advance!

Nield

Hello Nield,

WHM will create a separate db record for the parked domain. Edit the DB record of your Park domain..............

Also check if the domain nameservers are correct .............................

Also check in tweak settings and check this box:

Allow Creation of Parked/Addon Domains that resolve to other servers (ie domain transfers) [This can be a major security problem. If you must have it enabled, be sure to not allow users to park common internet domains.]


A more efficient method is to use the redirect at your registrar second domain and redirect it to the site you want to park on top of.
