What is Domain Parking?

Domain parking is very good option to reserve your domain for future use or resell. When you register your domain and do not enter any nameserver of your web hosting company, your registrar will set their default nameserver on your domain and your domain will be parked on their server. Don’t worry its absolutely free. (Remember: domain parking is not a hosting).

When you open your parked domain in browser, it contains one simple page which ever your registrar has set. Suppose your registered domain is neither parked nor hosted anywhere, then if you will try to access your domain from broweser you will get “page not found” error.

Some companies provides free domain parking service and pays you for every clicks on parked page advertisements generated by natural traffic of your domain. This companies even helds domain auction where you can even sell your domain for some good money. So domain parking can be revenue generating for you with no extra efforts.

What is Domain Name And Domain Name Registration?

What is Domain name?

Domain name identifies one or more ip addresses which are usded in URLs (Uniform Resource Locator) to identify particular web pages.

What is Domain Name Registration?

Domain name registration is procedure to secure or obtain a website domain name, such as www.yourname.com. When you register domain name, you own it for the particular time period (It depends up on the contract for how much period you register your domain. Normally its one year).  ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) handles all the international DNS (domain name server) database. ICANN guarantees that all the registered domain names are unique and mapped (assigned) properly to a unique IP address.

There are many companies available in internet business where you can register your domains, they are called registrar. There are well-known  registrars as godaddy and enom. When you apply for any domain to be registered, system checks into DNS database for domain availability.  If the domain name is not already registered then it is available for domain registration.

At the time of domain registration process, you will have to provide your contact information which any one can view via WHOIS search engine. If

you do not want any one to view your contact information then you can apply for privacy.

Note: Make sure that you own the domain which you registered as few registrars do not provide you all the control over your domain. Make sure that

you have option to transfer the domain to another registrar when ever you wish.
