Can I park my domains using a CNAME record?
While we strongly advise to park your domains using our name servers, it is possible to park using a custom CNAME record.
In your account settings, you will find your custom CNAME in the form of .parkingcrew.net.
Now point *.domainname.tld to the custom CNAME. This will make sure the domain gets automatically added to your ParkingCrew account.
To also redirect domain requests without a subdomain like www. it is also necessary to point the A record of the domain to the dedicated IP 185.53.177.31
Your zone should look like this:
Using this setup may have the following side effects:
In case ParkingCrew is under (e.g. DDoS) attack, our automated system is not able to rotate your domains to infrastructure that is not under attack, like it would if the domains were parked using our nameservers. This might mean: Your domain monetization might take longer to recover from an attack and you might have to change the IP address for all your domains.
