Domain Names

Domain parking is very simple and the details of how to park your names are too basic for this website. If you have questions about parking, you can visit any of the parking provider web sites below for more information.

Domain parking is not something we advocate here, however it does have its place as a holding area for domains that are waiting to be developed or sold. I have listed the top domain parking companies below. You should visit their websites and familiarize yourself with the ‘look and feel’ of the different parking companies’ layouts. Test your domains at several different services and then consolidate at three to five different services. It’s amazing how drastically performance will vary by moving a name from one parking company to another. Unfortunately, there is no magic formula – its all trial and error.

My preferred parking companies:

Domain Sponsor
Text only landing pages. Auto-optimizing layouts. Excellent reports.

Fabulous
Good provider, but unfortunately, I don’t think they accept new applicants anymore.

GoDaddy Cash Parking
Good for international domains. They charge to enter their program though. That’s bogus.

NameDrive
Excellent layouts. Park and Sell program lets buyers see stats and bid on your names.

Parked.com
Payouts twice per month. Excellent templates. Upload your own photos. Good for adult.

SedoPro
Good for international payouts. Excellent reports. Invite only. Must get an invite.

I don’t recommend wasting time with typos and trademarks. Your time is valuable, and if you’re going to spend time or money on domains, might as well spend your time and money on domains that are defensible and have long term value. Typos can never really be developed or sold at a premium to cash flow, and trademarks are always at risk of being taken from you. Trademarks also expose you to the potential of getting sued for damages. My attitude is that there are bigger fish to fry. Leave the typos and the trademarks to the bottom feeders. If you’re going to invest time and money into a domain, might as well spend it on a good domain that can be resold with confidence or developed at a later date.
