3. ◉ Before elaborating on domain parking, it is essential to know about a domain name. Every physical IP address
on the Internet has a name associated with it, which is referred to as its domain name. It is used in different
networking contexts as well as for the purpose of addressing along with application-specific naming. With
regard to a domain name, it is that unique and specific name which appears post the “@” sign for email
addresses and post “www” for websites’ web addresses. Its examples are “hotmail.com” and “bbc.com”, to
name a few.
◉ When a domain name is used to identify a location on the Internet, it becomes much easier to remember as
well as type website addresses. This is not only much more convenient than using its numeric IP address but
also aids in increasing the reach of the website.

4. ◉ A website is formed by a group of related web pages and content (data). This collection of data, which is referred
to as a website, can be identified by a common domain name and is available for online viewing over the Internet.
A website is located under a single domain.
◉ Every website that exists in the cyberspace is made accessible online by a certain web hosting service provider.
These web hosting companies are also referred to as web hosts. Adequate server space that is needed to store
as well as make available the files of a website, is leased by a web host. Web hosting companies not only lease
server space but also provide those services and technologies that keep a website up and running
uninterruptedly.
◉ Terms such as “Top Cloud Hosting Company” or the “Best Windows Hosting Company” as well as the “Best
Web Hosting Company” are used to refer to those web hosting companies that provide excellent quality of web
hosting services and fulfil the hosting requirements of different websites.

5. ◉ Let’s go back to the topic of domain name, before proceeding to the concept of domain parking, in order to find out how to
obtain a domain name. A domain name can be purchased by anyone. It can be purchased by contacting a domain host or
registrar. The first step in the process of obtaining it, is to find a relevant name. This relevant name should not be in use by
anyone else.The next step is paying an annual fee, which is usually not much, to own it.

Whoa! That’s a big number, aren’t you proud?

7. ◉ When an Internet domain name is registered without being associated with services such as a website or e-mail, then this
is referred to as domain parking. The purpose of doing so is to reserve a domain name for its development in the future. It
also ensures protection against the chances of domain squatting. A domain name can be parked prior to the launch of a
website. In brief, a parked domain is a domain name that has been parked for later use and most often has a holding page or
a landing page.
◉ To digress, terms such as “Top Cloud Hosting Company” or the “Best Windows Hosting Company” as well as the “Best
Web Hosting Company” refer to those web hosting companies that provide the best quality of web hosting services for
various types of websites.

Domain Parking

8. There are two types of domain parking, non-monetized and monetized. Further information on each of it is mentioned below.
◉ Monetized- Domain parking is referred to as monetized when advertising content is put by registrars on the
registered pages, which do not contain original content at that time. Visitors can view the advertisements which monetizes
the website. It aids in generating revenue.
◉ Non-monetized- In it domain names are reserved for those websites that are about to be launched. This parked
domain might or might not display a “coming soon” or an “under construction” message.

9. There are several reasons for domain parking, which are mentioned below in no particular order.
◉ Generation of additional revenue- It can be an additional source of passive revenue generation. Such
income can be generated by monetizing the domain name. In this case, advertisements will be run on the
parked domain page and whenever a visitor clicks on any of the advertisements, it will generate income
for the owner of the parked domain.
◉ Waiting for a redundant website to expire- The websites that are no longer needed, can be parked
till their expiration time.
◉ A domain that is bought for later use- This makes it convenient to start a website as the domain is
already available. Additionally, it ensures that the same domain name doesn’t get registered by anyone else
in the interim.
◉ The website isn’t up and running- In simple words, in this case a particular website is not ready yet
or is not accessible yet for online viewing.

Hosting Company” as well as the “Best Web Hosting Company” depending on the quality of the web
hosting service provided by these web hosts.
