If you want to develop a website later but don’t want to lose out on a really appropriate domain name, then you simply must register it before somebody else gets the same idea: after all, if you thought of it, you can pretty much guarantee that somebody will sooner or later! You may still not be ready to put your website together, everyday commitments being what they are, so the best option – and the most inexpensive option – is domain parking pages. Nearly all domain parking services provide their parking service free of charge as they obtain their revenue from the advertisements they place on your site during the time it is parked with them.
There is no deadline as to how soon your site needs to be developed and domain parking pages can be renewed on an annual basis. At the end of that time you can either renew your term of domain parking, or you can pay for a hosting account and develop your website ready for publishing it to the Web. Of course, there is no requirement for your domain to ever be developed: you can keep using domain parking pages for as long as you want. In fact, if you already have a particularly successful website with one of the popular domain name extensions, it wouldn’t be unusual for you to acquire the rest in the series of domain name extensions to ensure nobody else is riding piggyback on your success.
Prime Targets
Under developed domains are prime targets for the domain registrars to fill with advertising which, if you’re a Domainer, is not such a surprise because you are aware of the implications associated with the game. For a newbie setting out, however, this can comes as an enormous shock when you had just acquired a new domain name that you intend to develop into a Wordpress blog, or a website to sell your latest gizmos and gadgets. Many people are simply not aware of the covert operations going on amongst the domain registrars and the vast industry that has grown up around domain parking pages. Nevertheless, this situation can and does happen and, while you are putting together your next block buster weblog, you might as well take advantage of domain parking pages – on your terms!
Park with Panache
If you are going to take advantage of domain parking pages, why not park in style, resulting in a beautifully designed domain parking page, professionally designed completely free that enables you to take advantage of an RSS feed link and allowing email updates. Along with these innovations come other advantages – such as that seen with some domain parking pages: a sign up form to notify you when this page actually launches, thereby doing away with those ‘under construction’ pages that don’t do parked pages any favours. If nothing else, these email forms advising visitors when the page is due to launch is an excellent way to build up a mailing list of targeted visitors.
