  3. Domain Name • 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. Website and Web Hosting • 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. Obtaining a Domain Name • 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.

  7. Domain Parking • 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.

  8. Types of Domain Parking 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. Reasons for Domain Parking 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.

  10. In the context of websites, web hosting companies play a major role, as has been mentioned earlier. These web hosting companies can be referred to as “Top Cloud Hosting Company” or the “Best Windows Hosting Company” as well as the “Best Web Hosting Company” depending on the quality of the web hosting service provided by these web hosts.

  11. Conclusion To recapitulate, domain parking ensures that an Internet domain name is reserved for use in the future. Domain parking can be monetized or non-monetized. It is done for a number of beneficial reasons as is evident from the above-mentioned information.
