Once you
have your new domain name, you may wish to activate the name on your server
for future use. This is known as "parking" the domain name. To park your
new domain name, enter the name in the Park Domain Name section of the Work
Area, then click on "Add Domain". Your domain is now parked and can be removed
at any time.
