It had to come to this sooner or later - I’m looking at domain parking options. You know those annoying pages full of ads? I’m joining that club. It is a logical extension of the normal activity associated with active domaining I suppose - there is a limit to the number of niche sites and micro-blogs that even I can set up. With anecdotal figures of $20,000,000 for one domaining/parking company in the one year, it could be worth looking into.
Preliminary research indicates that there are a lot of domain parking options:
- GoDaddy.com provides domain parking for $8.99 a month on a 12 month prepaid contract - happily enough, as a Pro Reseller via GetYerOwn.com, I get this for free.
- NameDrive seems to be well thought of here and here.
- WhyPark will let me park 100 domain names with them for $99.95
- Trafficz are after the big guns - 100+ domains.
My choice? I’ve gone with the two free options - I’ll park some domains with GoDaddy/GetYerOwn, and I’ll park some others with NameDrive. It looks like NameDrive will be the better content to advertisement match, time will tell.
