Parked Domains are pointers only.
They point to the root directory of an existing web site you have with us or to the Computer Pal, Inc. homepage (If you are just registering a domain prior to its actual use). They allow you to point additional domain names to your already existing domain. For example:
domainname.com
domainname.net
domainname.org
can all point to the same place, preventing others from capitalizing on your unique domain name. They DO NOT point to sub-directories of existing accounts. We do not allow this to preserve the integrity of our servers and our other clients. We also do not allow any software or technique that is designed to bypass this policy. Using an index.cgi to read the request headers and redirect to a subdirectory or having an outside host point a domain name to a subdirectory is likewise, prohibited. A "Shared Virtual Account" can be used to point a "parked domain" to a sub-directory of an existing account at a cost of $10/month. This automatically includes email capability for the domain.
Parked Domains do not start with email capabilities; however, you may request email capability for a yearly fee of $30. You may have an unlimited number of aliases, but any mailbox userid's you request for the parked domain will count against your allotted number of mailboxes for the master domain (if a limit is set for that account type).
Sub-Domains are extensions of existing Domains.
Let's say you have smith.com and you want bob.smith.com to point to your /bob directory. We can set this up for a cost of $30/year.
If you only wish bob.smith.com to point to the same directory as smith.com, we can set that up for $20/year. This applies to Budget and $2 Resold accounts only. Premier and Basic accounts can use any sub-domain by default, no other configuration or charge is necessary.
