What is Domain Name Parking or DNS Parking?
Domain or DNS Parking is a service that will offer a client as a way of securing a domain name for
future use. The domain name parks on a server until it is ready to be made active.

or company cannot register that same domain name.
What is DNS Management?
DNS Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names
into IP addresses.
Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however,
is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must
translate the name into the corresponding IP address.
For example, the domain name www.example.com might
translate to 198.105.232.4.
The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular
domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned. (webopedia.com)
