I have my one domain minionsbandb.co.uk but I "add" on sub domains for free which gives me mail for each sub ie I have tearooms.minionsbandb.co.uk and could have I think a total of 5 There is a separate control panel for each one My understanding of a Parked Domain is one registered but with no hosting agreement set up yet. Nominet Reg and host company may be the same though.
