park domain ????

From what I have found "parking" a domain is when the registrar puts up a temporary page for you until you are ready to do something with it. You may indicate you are reserving it until you create your Web site, find a hosting provider, or sell the domain to a third party.

This does not apply to you. You simply want to add your domain to the server. DA puts up a temporary page for you by default.
 
We've created a freeparking page for our domain customers who want one; we simply created a page (here), and put it on its own IP#. For new domain registration clients who don't chose their own nameservers our default nameservers send all requests to to that IP#, and they see our freeparking page.

If you sell domains and want to offer freeparking, you can do the same :).

Can you tell me how to do that exactly?

I have an unused IP. How to do such a thing exactly?
 
You can create a domain parked.example.com where example.com is a domain name you want to use, already on your server. However, don't create it as a subdomain, but rather as a separate user with it's own IP#.

Then when you register new domains for your clients have them point to your nameservers and create a zone file for the new domain (for example newexample.com, using only an A record pointing to the same IP# as parked.example.com.

If you sell hosting/domain registration with automatic registration your registration provider may allow you to setup both the nameserver name and the zone file automatically. Or you can set up the nameserver name with your registration provider and your hosting control panel to set up a new DNS zone with your default A record. If you can't do it, consider using us for domain registration; we can :).
