域名

最近被这三个名词混淆了。

1. Domain alias 域名别名

Domain Aliases allows you to assign more than one domain name to one web site with Action you can have an unlimited number of domains pointing to a single web site. For example, if you have the domain "mydomain.com" set up as an alias to the hosting account for "myotherdomain.com," anyone browsing to "mydomain.com" will go to the "myotherdomain.com" Web site.

2. Domain Parking 域名停放

Domain parking is an extremely inexpensive way to secure a domain for later development, redirection of Web traffic, or re-sale. A parked domain includes one simple page. If the site is intended for development, the page will indicate it is under construction or coming soon. You might find you don’t have time, or you might decide to let the domain expire at the end of the contract, typically one year. In this case, the only investment lost is a few dollars.

3. Domain redirection 域名重定向

Domain redirection (also called URL redirection) allows you to redirect web requests for your domain name to content hosted on a different server (such as the free web space your ISP may provide). URL redirection can be used as a cheap alternative to paid web hosting. You can host your site on a free server (with long path name) then redirect using a URL redirection server.
Example: The actual URL is http://users.yourisp.com/~yourusername but you can use a short domain URL such as http://www.yourname.com/. Even if your long URL changes, the short domain name address you give out never changes.

总结：
Domain alias 域名别名，为域名对域名的导向，而Domain redirection 域名重定向是域名对网址的导向。Domain Parking 域名停放虽也为域名导向，顾名思义就是停放域名，作为保障域名拥有权的另一措施。
