# How to Park a Domain or Set Up a Coming Soon Page

Sometimes you register a domain before your website is ready, or you own a domain you are not using yet. Rather than leaving it showing an error, you can "park" it or put up a simple "coming soon" page. This keeps the domain looking intentional and professional while you prepare the real site. This guide explains the options and how to set them up.

## What "parking" a domain means

Parking a domain simply means the domain is registered and pointed somewhere, but does not yet host a full website. A parked domain might show a blank placeholder, a basic holding page, or a "coming soon" message. The goal is to reserve the name and present something tidy to anyone who visits in the meantime.

## Your main options

- **A simple placeholder page:** a single page saying the site is on its way.
- **A "coming soon" page with contact details:** useful so visitors can still reach you.
- **A redirect:** send the domain to another site you already run, such as a social page.
- **A holding page from your builder:** many site builders offer a ready-made coming-soon template.

## How to set up a coming soon page

- Point the domain to your Disoh hosting if it is not already.
- Open the **File Manager** and go to the domain's *public_html* folder.
- Upload a simple *index.html* file with your holding message.
- Alternatively, use the free site builder to publish a coming-soon template.
- Enable SSL so the page loads securely.

If you are building with WordPress, you can instead install it and activate a "coming soon" or "maintenance mode" plugin, which shows a friendly page to visitors while you work behind the scenes.

## Redirecting instead of parking

If you already have an active presence elsewhere, another option is to redirect the parked domain there. For example, a new brand domain could temporarily point to your existing site or a landing page until the new site is ready. Use a redirect for this, and switch it to the real site when you launch.

## Troubleshooting

- **Domain shows an error:** confirm it points to your hosting and a page exists in public_html.
- **No padlock:** enable SSL for the domain.
- **Old page cached:** clear your browser cache after publishing.
