How to add parked domains

First of all, what is a parked domain?

A parked domain is a domain that is added to your main hosting account and which points to the same web hosting space as your primary domain name, thus giving access to the same website using 2 domain names. It allows you to have multiple domains point to 1 website.

In your web site control panel (cpanel), click on "Parked Domains" from within the "domains" section, enter the domain name you want to park on top of your hosting account (without any www. or http) and simply click on "add domain" which will then 
take you to a page that tells you that you have successfully added the domain. Now, when you go to say domain2.com it will take you to domain.com.

You can also setup redirects from here too, but this is not ideal to use parked domains if you want them to permanently re-direct to sub folders on your website to work as seperate websites, you should use an add-on domain for this.

You must ensure that you change the nameservers for any parked domains you wish to park to the ones found in your welcome email.
