    Dear John,

    When parked to a hosting account it searches (most of the times)
    for the main index.html ( or .php )

    could you explain what you mean with redirect to other files?
    do you want to show all your files? (like a directory?)

    or do you wanna link one webpage to another?

    or something else?

    I have one domain that points to index.php
    I want the parked domain to point to other file from other directory

    I mean when you have more parked domains on the same hosting account how can you handle them to point to different files.

    I have x.com and after I parked y.com when I run y.com it shows like x.com and I want to make it different.

    I'm sure now you understood :)

    thanks

    I think that all depends on the Control Panel your hosting provider offers you.
    IMO

    With all the control panels I have worked with, a parked domain can only point to the index page upon which it is parked.

    An addon domain may be pointed to a subdomain/directory which would point to the index page of that directory.

    Now you might be able to pull some trick using .htaccess but you are then cloaking and that will ruin your SERP. For a more detailed yet simple explanation read addon, parked and subdomains at this site.

    Not a trick but some ideas:

    - Go to a parking site
    - Go to a free hosting
    - Get a server and manage yourself all domains you want
